A Downloader/Recharger is needed to update the software in the handheld. This procedure
is explained in the software update package. The Downloader/Recharger is also required if
rechargeable batteries are being used. This section will explain how to use the Downloader/
Recharger to recharge rechargeable batteries. Only rechargeable batteries supplied by Abbott
Point of Care may be used.
The Downloader/Recharger will recharge a rechargeable battery in the handheld when the handheld
is placed in the Downloader/Recharger. The Downloader/Recharger also has a Recharging
Compartment for an additional rechargeable battery.
Power Requirements: The Downloader/Recharger requires one power outlet. The Downloader/
Recharger must be used with the AC power supply adapter supplied with it.
Caution:
• Do not place metal objects on or near the exposed gold charging contacts.
• Be sure to install all cables and power supplies so they do not pose a trip hazard. Mount
equipment so cables and accessories stay clear of walkways. The AC power supply adapter
plug acts as the disconnect device for the Downloader/Recharger and therefore, the socket
outlet must be located near the Downloader/Recharger and must be easily accessible.
• Only Abaxis provided printers may be connected to the Downloader printer port.
• Users should not connect the Downloader/Recharger to a medical electrical system.
• The Downloader/Recharger is not intended for use in the patient environment
(within 1.5 meters of the physical location of the patient).
