STORAGE

When not in use, your device should be stored in a cool, dry location within the specified storage parameters (refer to Specifications).
• Do not store batteries longer than 1 year without recharge.
• Lithium ion batteries can be stored from -20˚C to 60˚C (-4˚F to 140˚F) at up to 90% relative humidity.
Recommendation: Store the battery below 60˚C (140˚F), low humidity, no dust and no corrosive gas atmosphere. Store fully charged if possible. Avoid storage in direct sunlight. High
temperature storage (above 40˚C / 104˚F), such as in a hot car, may degrade battery performance and reduce battery life. Low temperature storage may affect battery performance. The
best battery charge conditions are within a temperature range of 0˚C to 45˚C (32˚F to 113˚F) at up to 90% relative humidity. If the battery temperature exceeds 45˚C (113˚F), the device
will not charge the battery. Charging will be resumed when the battery temperature drops to 44˚C (111˚F) or below.

BATTERY

Initial Battery Charge

Before using the device on battery power for the first time, the battery needs to be fully charged.
NOTE– Fully charge battery for 3 hours before first use.
7325P series only - To charge the Vacu-Aide battery, simply attach the power supply to the device and
1.
an AC or DC power source using the appropriate power cord.
2. The yellow LED illuminates while the battery is charging, and goes out once battery is fully charged.
NOTE– If battery is outside the specified temperature range, the Charge Indicator LED will illuminate
Red. Battery will not charge until it reaches the specified temperature range at which time the Charge
Indicator LED will illuminate Yellow.

Battery Charging

NOTE– The battery will not charge while the device is in use. Charging will begin once the procedure is
complete and the device is turned off.
1. Ensure power switch is Off.
2. Attach the power supply to the power input on the back of the unit and a wall outlet or DC receptacle
using the appropriate power cord; green External Power LED will illuminate.
3. Battery charging begins; verify that yellow Battery Charge LED illuminates.
the specified temperature range, the Charge Indicator LED will illuminate Red. Battery will not charge until
it reaches the specified temperature range at which time the Charge Indicator LED will illuminate Yellow.
4. When battery charging is complete, the yellow LED will go off. The green LED will remain on as long as
external power is present.
CAUTION
Do not operate the unit more than a few minutes if the low battery indicator light is lit. Recharge as soon as
possible. Device will shut off approximately 5 minutes after Low Battery LED illuminates Red.
NOTE– Charge battery for a minimum of 3 hours before first use.
NOTE– Fully recharge battery after each use. The unit will continue to float charge the battery after the
charge indicator turns off, so leave the unit connected to external power when not in use.
NOTE– When charging the battery, use an external power source and verify that the charge light illuminates
when the unit is in the "Off' position. If the battery does not charge, please be sure the model you are using has
a battery installed prior to contacting your authorized Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare provider.
NOTE– Do not connect the AC adapter to an outlet controlled by a switch to ensure power is supplied to
unit at all times.
NOTE– Do not connect the DC power cord to an outlet that is not constantly energized.
NOTE– A new fully charged battery will provide approximately 45 minutes of continuous operation at a zero
vacuum level (free flow). Operation time will decrease with higher vacuum levels.
NOTE– Unit run time will also be reduced by letting the battery sit at a discharged state for extended
periods.
NOTE– Unit run time will decrease as the battery ages.
NOTE– The battery may have 75% of its initial capacity after 500 charge/discharge cycles; in this case, you
can expect up to 34 minutes of runtime.
NOTE– The internal rechargeable battery is lithium ion and must be disposed of properly. Contact your local
authorities for instruction on proper disposal.
STORAGE NOTE– Battery should be charged for a minimum of 3 hours prior to storage, and at least once
every year while in storage.
IMPORTANT - If battery recharge is delayed beyond 1 year, battery may be able to provide full run time after
completion of 3 full charge and discharge cycles.
