3 Basic Operation

To mark an event on the trace paper you can:
• Either select the Set Marker SmartKey .
• Or press the button on the remote event marker. The remote event marker is connected to the
monitor via any fetal transducer socket.
A small arrow is printed on the heart rate scale on the trace paper. This reflects exactly when the
marker button was first pressed; keeping the button pressed has no influence on the annotation.
Entering Notes
Your monitor has a set of 15 factory pre-configured notes (see below). The maximum length of one
single note is 30 characters. It is possible to edit the notes in Configuration Mode (please refer to the
Service Guide).
To enter a note:
♦ Press the Enter Notes SmartKey to open the Enter Note menu.
♦ Scroll if necessary, then select the note you wish to enter. A confirmation dialog box opens:
♦ Select Confirm to enter the note. The note is then shown in the status line of the display, and is
annotated on the fetal trace if the fetal recorder is on.
By default, notes are printed lengthwise in the direction of the trace, in the space between the FHR
grid and the uterine activity grid. If you prefer, you can configure the recorder to print across the trace.
You can change this in Configuration Mode by changing the
Notes Recording setting in the Fetal
Recorder
menu from Along (default) to Across (notes print widthwise across the trace).
The following are the pre-configured notes from which to choose:
1 Patient Repositioned
2 Vaginal Examination
To store and record the note select Confirm. Select
Cancel to reject the current note.
