Phase 1 WoWs
EMR team members, along with the supplier and manufacturer of our WoW batteries, have recently completed a firmware update to WoW batteries across all campuses so that power to a WoW will be cut off if a suspect/faulty battery is identified and the suspect/faulty battery will blink green/purple.
The battery should be removed from circulation and kept by the NUM, MUM, Manager who will log a job with the Western Health Service Desk to arrange a replacement battery.
On removal/replacement of the battery, the WoW will regain power.
The below table highlights when a suspect/faulty battery is present.
| Blue Lighting | Full Charge (AC mode) |
|---|---|
| Blue Flashing | Charging (AC mode) |
| Green Lighting | Capacity 16%-100% (Battery mode) |
| Orange Lighting | Capacity 8%-15% (Battery mode) |
| Purple Lighting | Capacity 0%-7% (Battery mode) |
| Green-Purple Flashing | Charging error |
Please log a job with the Western Health Service Desk to arrange a replacement battery:
