Additional notes

The GPA5 Battery Pack consists of a GPA5 battery and its corresponding labels. The lithium ion battery provides power when an AC power source is interrupted. Lithium ion batteries last longer than conventional batteries and do not require replacement as often. It can provide one hour of battery life with a single fully charged battery. The Voluson system is powered either by its internal battery or by a separate power supply adaptor unit connected to a separate power outlet for any range of 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz. The lithium ion technology used is significantly less hazardous to the environment than the lithium metal technology used in any other batteries, such as watch batteries. It has a safety device within, so it should not be disassembled or altered. Charge and discharge the battery only when the ambient temperature is in between 0 to 40° C and -20 to 60° C respectively. This pack includes a polyester label of 0.05 mm thickness, with the printed technical specifications of the battery, regulatory markings, cautions and warnings printed in a black text. It also has a small label for manufacturing date, serial number and bar code.
