When a patient monitor is first connected to the optional 
CARESCAPE Network, the time and date is automatically updated 
from the network time.
WARNING
Loss of patient data history. Changing the time or date 
settings may result in the loss of patient data history. If 
one patient monitor’s time or date is changed, all patient 
monitors on the network “listen” and follow suit within 3-
5 seconds. Changing the time base of one patient monitor 
may cause some loss of patient data history for all the 
patient monitors on the network.
