Connecting the Serial Interface Adapter
Warning To ensure patient electrical isolation, use only the Philips serial interface adapter.
Caution Do not allow liquid to enter the connectors or the openings on the adapter. Wet
connectors can prevent connected devices from operating. If liquid spills on the
adapter, clean and dry it thoroughly before reuse. If you think that liquid may have
entered the adapter, verify the performance and safety of the adapter before
returning it to use.
To connect the serial interface adapter:
Caution If users disconnect the adapter to move the monitor to a different location, ensure
that the users understand that the black sheath must completely cover the RS-232
connector after they reconnect the cable.
