WARNING 
z  When using electrosurgical units (ESU), patient leads should be placed in a 
position that is equal distance from the Electrosurgery electrotome and the 
grounding plate to avoid burns to the patient. Never entangle the ESU cable and 
the ECG cable together. 
z  When using electrosurgical units (ESU), never place ECG electrodes near to the 
grounding plate of the ESU, as this can cause a lot of interference on the ECG 
signal. 
 
 
8.3.4 Switching ECG Lead Set 
When [Lead Set] is set to [Auto], the patient monitor can switch from 3-lead ECG to 5-lead 
ECG, or from 5-lead ECG to 12-lead ECG automatically. The following table describes the

Switch from 3-lead to 5-lead    RL and any two of limb leads (RA, LL, LA) 
are connected to a patient for 5 seconds. 
Switch from 5-lead to 3-lead  RA, LA, LL, and V are all disconnected or 
RL is disconnected from a patient and the 
disconnection lasts for 10 seconds. 
Switch from 12-lead to 3-lead  All the leads are disconnected or RL is 
disconnected from a patient and the 
disconnection lasts for 10 seconds. 
Switch from 5-lead to12-lead  RA, LA, RL, and LL are connected to a 
patient properly, any lead from V2 to V6 is 
connected properly and the connection lasts 
for 5 seconds.
