IN
CASE
OF
DIFFICULTY
2.7.1
Return
Monitor
Alarm
Trouble
with
the
Return
Pad
is
signalled
by
illu-
mination
of
the
Return
Fault
Indicator.
Activation
attempts
will
result
in
an
audible
fault
alarm.
Replace
Pad
if
any
patient
contact
has
been
lost,
and
press
the
Monitor
Set
key
to
store
the
new
resistance
for
Dual
Pad
mode.
2.7.1.1
Single
Pad
Alarm
If
a
Single
Pad
Alarm
condition
exists,
confirm
that
a
single
pad
is
attached
to
the
unit.
Check
all
Return
Pad
cable
connections
and
replace
pad
or
cable
if
necessary.
2.7.1.2
Dual
Pad
Alarm
If
a
Dual
Pad
alarm
exists,
check
the
ASSIST
bar
graph
for
clues
to
the
problem.
A.
All
of
the
bars
are
flashing,
the
resistance
is
too
high.
This
can
be
caused
by
inappropriate
pad
site,
a
broken
cable,
or
poor
connections
to
the
unit.
B.
More
bars
are
flashing
than
originally
were
when
Monitor
Set
was
pressed.
Check
to
see
if
the
pad
has
peeled
from
the
patient
or
if
the
unit
has
a
poor
connection.
C.
No
bars
are
on.
Check
to
see
if
a
single
pad
has
been
connected
instead
of
a
dual
pad.
Confirm
a
dual
pad
is
not
connected
to
some-
thing
highly
conductive
or
folded
over
on
itself.
