mechanically interfere with the battery.

• Should the battery casing crack and
cause contents to come in contact with
skin or clothing, rinse immediately
with plenty of water.

• If contents come in contact with the
eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of
water and seek medical attention.

• Inhalation of the contents can cause
respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air
and medical attention.

• Be careful not to drop the battery.

• Contact the appropriate local authority for
advice when disposing of batteries.

• Check label on the battery.

Storage of Batteries

• The battery is delivered charged but we
recommend you recharge the battery when
received due to a slow self discharge.

• This battery will slowly self discharge when not
used.

• A battery not in use should be stored in a
temperature range of -0 °C (32 °F) to +30 °C
(86 °F).

Battery Service Life

Make sure to always have two well functional batteries,
one to use and one in storage.

If using a freshly charged battery and the battery
indicator starts to flash and sound after only a few
activities are carried out, it is time to order a new
battery.

NOTE
To avoid loss of operation, charge the battery
when the warning LED lamp is lit.

•

NOTE
The battery can be left in the charger unit even
if it is fully charged without being damaged.

Low Charge Warning

The low charge battery warning LED lamp is placed on
the cover of the hydraulic unit on the chassis. If the
battery is running low, the warning LED will turn
yellow when the buttons on the hand control are pushed.
The battery should then be recharged as soon as
possible.

Installation of Charger

See NCA-X000, Battery Charger IFU.

How to Change the Battery

See NCA-X000 Battery Charger IFU.

• For maximum battery performance do not store
the battery above 50 °C (122 °F).

Charging Intervals

• To prolong the life of the battery, charge it at
regular intervals, i.e. every night.

•If the Concerto shower trolley is used frequently,
it is recommended to use two batteries, one in
operation and one as a stand-by in the charger.

• It’s recommended that a battery not in use is left in
the charger. There is no risk of overcharging the
battery.

Electromagnetic Compatibility

Product has been tested for compliance with current regulatory standards regarding its capacity to block EMI
(electromagnetic interference) from external sources.

Some procedures can help reduce electromagnetic interferences:

• Use only Arjo cables and spare parts to avoid increased emissions or decreased immunity which can
compromise the correct functioning of the equipment.

• Ensure that other devices in patient-monitoring and/or life-support areas comply to accepted emissions
standards.

WARNING

Wireless communications equipment such as wireless computer network devices, mobile
phones, cordless telephones and their base stations, walkie-talkies, etc. can affect this
equipment and should be kept at least 1.5m away from the equipment.

Intended Environment: Home Healthcare Environment and Professional Healthcare facility environment.

Exceptions: HF Surgical Equipment and the RF Shielded room of an ME SYSTEM for magnetic resonance imaging

WARNING

Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided
because it could result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment and
the other equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating normally.

Guidance and manufacturer’s declaration – electromagnetic emission

Emission test Compliance Guidance

This equipment uses RF energy only for its internal functions.

RF emissions CISPR 11 Group 1

RF emissions CISPR 11 Class B

Therefore its RF emissions are very low and are not likely to cause
any interference in nearby electronic equipment.

This equipment is suitable for use in all establishments, including

Floors should be wood,
concrete or ceramic tile. If
floors are covered with
synthetic material, the
relative humidity should be at
least 30%.

Portable and mobile RF
communications equipment
should be used no closer to
any part of the product,
including cables, than 1.0m,
if the transmitter’s output
power rating exceeds 1W

Field strengths from fixed RF
transmitters, as determined
by an electromagnetic site
survey, should be less than
the compliance level in each

a

Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land
mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with
accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey
should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the product is used exceeds the
applicable RF compliance level above, the product should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal
performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary.

b

Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 1 V/m.
