Monitoring the skin temperature at two different sites ■
Connect the yellow skin temperature probe to the skin temperature probe connecting port 1.(1)
Connect the white skin temperature probe (option) to the skin temperature probe connecting port 2.(2)
Attach the white skin temperature probe (option) to the infant in the same way as the yellow skin tem-(3)
perature probe.

Heater Output Indicator4-1-3.
Heat supplied by the heater is indicated on the heater output indicator (in ten levels). During normal operation,
the heater output level is indicated in accordance with the set heater output (%).
Setting the Skin Temperature (Servo Control)4-2.
In the servo control mode, be sure to connect the yellow skin temperature probe to the skin tem-
perature probe connecting port 1. Then the yellow skin temperature probe will serve as a skin tem-
perature probe for servo control. To monitor the infant’s skin temperature at two different sites at
the same time, connect the white skin temperature probe to the skin temperature probe connecting
port 2 (for monitoring only). However, the white skin temperature probe does not function as a skin
temperature probe for servo control. The skin temperature detected by the white skin temperature
probe is displayed only as long as is pressed.
Either °C or °F is selectable as the unit of the temperature to be displayed on the control panel. The
set temperature in the servo control mode can be displayed in Fahrenheit (°F) if desired. Be careful
not to be confused about the unit of the displayed temperature when you have switched from one
to the other by pressing
.
Practice and master the operation procedure before placing the infant on the mattress, and conduct
temperature tests with the unit empty to check that it operates normally.
Monitor the infant’s core temperature separately during servo control operation.
To prevent a bedsore, change the infant’s position frequently.
