equipment was shipped is now listed as the current tracking location. If the equipment is located
somewhere other than the shipping address or the equipment has been sold, donated, lost, stolen,
exported, or destroyed, or if the equipment was not obtained directly from Medtronic, please either call
the device tracking coordinator at 1.800.426.4448 or use one of the postage-paid address change
cards located in the back of this manual to update this vital tracking information.

Safety Information
TERMS
The following terms are used either in these operating instructions or on the Battery Support System 2:
Danger: Immediate hazards that will result in serious personal injury or death.
Warning: Hazards or unsafe practices that could result in serious personal injury or death.
Caution: Hazards or unsafe practices that could result in minor personal injury, product damage, or
property damage.
GENERAL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
The following are general warning and caution statements. Other specific warnings and cautions are
provided as needed in other sections of these operating instructions.
WARNINGS!
Shock or fire hazard.
Do not immerse any portion of this device in water or other fluids. Avoid spilling any fluids on the device
or accessories. Do not clean with alcohol, ketones, or other flammable agents. Do not autoclave or
sterilize this device unless otherwise specified.
Possible fire or explosion.
Do not use this device in the presence of flammable gases or anesthetics. Place the Battery Support
System 2 in the proper location as specified in these operating instructions.
Possible fire or explosion.
The Battery Support System 2 is designed to be used with Medtronic batteries only. Other
manufacturers’ batteries may overheat in this battery support system. Do not use with remanufactured
or alternate source batteries.
Possible loss of power during patient care.
Medtronic has no information regarding the performance or effectiveness of its LIFEPAK® defibrillator/
monitors if they are used with other manufacturers’ batteries or battery chargers. Using other
manufacturers’ batteries or battery chargers may result in device failure and may void warranty. Use
only Medtronic batteries and the appropriate Battery Support System.
Possible electrical Interference with device performance
Equipment operating in close proximity may emit strong electromagnetic or radio frequency
interference (RFI) which could affect the performance of this device. RFI may result in improper device
operation, distorted ECG, failure to detect a shockable rhythm, or cessation of pacing. Avoid operating
the device near cauterizers, diathermy equipment, cellular phones, or other portable and mobile RF
communications equipment. Maintain equipment separation of at least four feet and do not rapidly key
EMS radios on and off. Contact a technical support representative if assistance is required.
Possible electrical interference
Using cables, electrodes, or accessories not specified for use with this device may result in increased
emissions or decreased resistance to electromagnetic interference which could affect the performance
of this device or of equipment in close proximity. Use only parts and accessories specified in these
operating instructions.
CAUTIONS!
Possible equipment damage.
This device may be damaged by mechanical or physical abuse such as immersion in water or dropping.
If the device has been abused, remove it from use and contact a qualified service technician.
1-2 Battery Support System 2 Operating Instructions
Safety Information
CAUTIONS!
Possible or potential inaccurate battery charge level indicator.
Using the Battery Support System (MIN 801807) or the two-well Battery Charger (MINs 9-00284,
9-00288, and 801530) to charge and maintain a FASTPAK
®
2 battery will eventually result in an
inaccurate battery charge level indicator. Use only the Battery Support System 2 (MIN 3010035) to
charge and maintain FASTPAK 2 batteries.
Possible equipment damage.
The supplied power cord is used to connect the battery support system to ac line voltage. Excessive
voltage may cause fuses in the Battery Support System 2 to blow. Before connecting the battery
support system, ensure that you are using a grounded outlet of the correct voltage.
Note: The Battery Support System 2 has no ON/OFF switch. When connecting the system to ac line
voltage, ensure that the power cord is easily accessible and is not obstructed in any way. If the system
malfunctions or overheats, disconnect the system from the ac line voltage by removing the power cord.
