I never thought about trying that. It may work, I'll have to do some research. The only concern I have about is that if by chance the power would get unplugged accidentally, then you have no backup and the manikin will shut down completely....so it will kill your scenario. It works just like a cell phone, they are meant to run on the batteries ...

yes it is over charging of the batteries. Laerdal contacted us and told us that they are not supposed to be plugged in 24/7 while running scenarios. They are made to run off the batteries, then when the batteries get low, that is when you plug them in until they recharge. I haven't yet tried the cooling pads yet, but I was either going to take the ...

As of now, we have been alternating between sessions. so if we have 4 in a row, we will do one plugged in, then the next one on batteries, then plugged in, etc. This seems to be working, just have to keep a conscious effort not to overcharge the batteries or to let them run out!

I sure will. Just so you know. I read in the manual that if you do not drain the resevoir daily, then that could cause condensation build up, and that may be a part of the issue. I also found cooling pads and cooling fans that can be put on the back of the manikin's computer that I am going to try. But I will post what I find out. Thanks

We are having issues with SimMan 3G overheating! It seems to be happening when we leave 3G plugged into the wall while running scenarios. It's as if we are over charging the batteries. Once we unplug them and run off the battery, it works fine. We are getting an Automatic Shutdown error with a picture of SimMan on fire! Are we doing something ...

I have also had issues with the manikin disconnecting while it is wireless. Fortunately where I work we have the capibilty to hardwire plug them in to our network. I know this is not ideal for the use of 3G, but I have not had the issue since. Sometimes wireless just cannot be trusted.

That's the problem we are having, is getting admin rights; I figured that was most likely the issue. Thanks

Someone please reply responed so I think there is some hope for this issue out there

I have having issues opening already built scenarios, and test scenarios that I have built. The first issue: The already built scenarios are coming from the school of nursing into our new building. We have them on a shared network drive. The run just fine, but when I try and open them in the editor, I get a dialog box that says cannot open file. ...
