Intended Use
Intended Use
The Nonin Model 2500C Charger Stand is intended for use with the PalmSAT Models 2500 and
2500A Pulse Oximeters and the Model 2500B Rechargeable NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride)
Battery Pack.
Warnings
Do not use this product in an MR environment.
Do not use this product in an explosive atmosphere.
This product is not defibrillation proof per IEC 60601-1.
As with all medical equipment, carefully route patient cabling to reduce the possibility of patient entanglement,
strangulation, or injury to the patient.
This product should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is
necessary, the product should be observed carefully to verify normal operation.
The use of accessories, sensors, cables, and power supplies other than those listed in the Parts and
Accessories List may result in increased electromagnetic emission and/or decreased immunity of this product.
To prevent improper performance and/or patient injury, verify compatibility of the monitor, sensor(s), and
accessories before use.
No modifications to this device are allowed as it may affect device performance.
Portable RF communications equipment such as cell phones or radios (including peripherals such as antenna
cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the ME system,
including cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment
could result.
Cautions
This equipment complies with International Standard 60601-1-2 for electromagnetic compatibility for medical
electrical equipment and/or systems. This standard is designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a typical medical installation. However, because of the proliferation of radio-frequency
transmitting equipment and other sources of electrical noise in healthcare and other environments, it is
possible that high levels of such interference due to close proximity or strength of a source might disrupt the
performance of this product. Medical electrical equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC, and all
equipment must be installed and put into service according to the EMC information specified in this manual.
Do not connect this product to an AC outlet controlled by a wall switch. If the switch is accidentally turned off
before the battery pack is recharged, the pulse oximeter may not function.
Grounding reliability can only be achieved when the equipment is connected to an equivalent receptacle
marked “Hospital Only” or “Hospital Grade”.
This product contains sensitive electronic components and must be repaired by trained Nonin personnel only.
Do not immerse this product in liquid.
!

Intended Use
Do not place liquids on top of this product.
Do not use caustic or abrasive cleaning agents on this product.
Do not remove any covers from the product. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the unit.
Do not attempt to charge disposable batteries. Disposable batteries may leak or explode if used improperly.
Follow local, state and national governing ordinances and recycling instructions regarding disposal or recycling
of the product and product components, including batteries. Use only Nonin-approved battery packs.
In compliance with the European Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) 2002/96/EC,
do not dispose of this product as unsorted municipal waste. This product contains WEEE materials; please
contact your distributor regarding take-back or recycling of the product. If you are unsure how to reach your
distributor, please call Nonin for your distributor’s contact information.

General Description
To use, place a PalmSAT Pulse Oximeter containing a rechargeable battery pack into the charger
stand. Next, connect the charger power supply to the charger, then plug the power supply into an
appropriate AC power source (wall outlet).
The fast charge feature will fully charge a depleted battery pack in approximately 180 minutes.
The charge indicator shows a steady green light when charging, and a flashing green light when
the battery pack is fully charged.

Using the Model 2500C
Unpacking the Model 2500C
The complete package includes the following items:
• 1 Model 2500C Charger Stand
• 1 Model 2500B Rechargeable NiMH Battery Pack
• 1 Power Supply*
• 1 Model 2500C-INS Operator’s Manual (on CD)
Confirm that the items listed are included in the package. If any item on this list is missing or
damaged, contact your distributor. Contact the carrier immediately if the shipping carton is
damaged.
*Certain power supply models will be provided with a separate power cord.

Operation
Operation
Follow the steps below to recharge the Model 2500B NiMH Battery Pack.
NOTES:
• The NiMH battery pack must be fully charged before the first use.
• Various Nonin-specified power cords are available for use with certain power supplies. See
“Accessories” on page 11 or contact your distributor.
• It is normal for the battery pack and charger to become warm during the charge cycle.
To Charge the Battery Pack Using the Charger Stand
1. Insert the battery pack into the PalmSAT Pulse Oximeter. (See the PalmSAT
Operator’s Manual for battery pack placement instructions.)
2. Place the pulse oximeter into the charger stand.
3. Plug the power supply into the back of the charger stand.
4. Connect the appropriate power cord into the power supply, when necessary.
5. Plug the power cord assembly into an appropriate AC power outlet.
6. The battery pack will be fully charged in approximately 90 minutes. Refer to Table 2
for a description of the charging conditions.
NOTES:
• You can maintain a full charge in the battery pack by charging the PalmSAT Pulse Oximeter
in the charger stand until needed. (NiMH battery packs will self-discharge approximately
20% over a 30-day period when removed from the charger.)
• You can use the PalmSAT Pulse Oximeter while it is charging in the stand. For added
stability, route the sensor cable under the charger stand as shown in Figure 3.

Troubleshooting Guide
Troubleshooting Guide
Problem Possible Cause Possible Solution
The product will not
turn on.
The power supply/power cord
assembly is not properly
connected to the chargerand an
appropriate AC outlet.
Check all connections. Check
that theAC outlet is not turned off
via a wall switch.
Thepulse oximeteris improperly
inserted into the charger. Insert the pulse oximeter into the charger correctly.
The battery pack is improperly
inserted into the pulse oximeter. Insert the battery pack into the pulse oximeter correctly.
The charge indicator
is flashing amber
alternating with
amber/green (an
error condition).
The battery pack is stored or
used outside of specified
environmental conditions.
Warm the battery pack to room
temperature, place it into the
pulse oximeter, and then reinsert
into the charger.
