Working with the Main Display
The Main Display is a touch screen that serves as a work area for programming infusion

selected infusion parameters and other relevant information (such as time left until
completion of the infusion) appear on the4 Main Display.
The following sections describe how to use the keypads, and provide an overview of

Using the Keypad
Numeric keypad
The keypad is used for entering digits, to specify parameters for volumes, rates and
times, and typing drugs names when searching the Drug Library. As you press the
relevant digits, they are displayed in the frame at the top of the Main Display, replacing
the name of the parameter. Pressing Clr, at the lower left corner of the keypad, clears
all entered digits and lets you re-enter the value.
