Before Using the Monitor
WARNING
• Before starting monitoring, check that the configuration meets your requirements.
• Be aware that the monitors in your care area may each have different alarm settings, to suit
different patients. Always check that the alarm settings are appropriate for your patient before you
start monitoring.
Check that the following configuration settings are suitable:
• Line Frequency
• Paper Scale
• Paper Speed
• Equipment Label
• Configured SmartKeys
• Input device configuration (if using an external keyboard or mouse)
If you need to enter configuration mode to change settings:
1 In the Main Setup menu, select Operating Modes.
2 Select Config and enter the passcode.
The passcode for Configuration Mode is given in the monitor’s service documentation.
The monitor displays
Config at the right hand side of the status line, and in the center of the screen
while you are in Configuration Mode.
Before you leave Configuration Mode, always be sure to store any changes you made. You must store
changes made to each Settings Block and to each Profile, individually. As it may be difficult to
remember whether the settings you changed belong to a Monitor Settings block or a Measurement
Settings block, we recommend that you store each block before you leave Configuration Mode.
To leave Configuration Mode:
1 Enter the Main Setup menu.
2 Select Operating Modes.
3 Select Monitoring.
