Troubleshooting: Troubleshooting procedure
Graphs and alarms are not 
printed at the desired 
location.
1. Verify paper in central station writer is correct side up.
2. If the monitor was moved from one care unit to another, reprogram the graph destinations. Refer to 
“Set graph locations” on page 6-5.
 Watch for misspelling or spaces in the name. 
 Make sure that the care unit name programmed into the monitor and central station match exactly. 
Typically, the care unit name for a monitor is not shown on the central station display of a patient’s 
data. Only the bed number is shown. If the care unit name for a monitor does not match the central 
station care unit name, then the monitor identification changes. The monitor identifier shows the 
care unit name followed by a vertical slash (|) and then the bed number. The solution is to modify 
the monitor care unit name to match the central station’s care unit name.
The remote control does 
not activate the display.
This is caused by an interruption of power to the remote control.
1. Check the M-Port LED. If it is illuminated, the remote is communicating with the patient monitor.
2. Check for a loose connection from the monitor to the remote control.
3. Try a different M-port.
4. Disconnect and securely reconnect the remote control from the monitor to reset the remote control.
5. Replace remote control with a known good one.
6. Replace processor pcb in patient monitor with a known good one.
