The waveform in Wave
Sector 1 is no longer valid
and another ECG source is
available.
Check that the monitoring electrodes/pads are properly
applied.
Use the Lead Select button to select another lead to
monitor.
Lead wire off message on the
display.
The specified monitoring
electrode is off or not
making proper contact with
the patient.
Check that the monitoring electrodes are properly
applied. If necessary, prepare the patient’s skin and
apply new electrodes.

on the display.
Two or more limb lead
electrodes are off or not
making proper contact with
the patient.
Check that the limb lead electrodes are properly
applied.
This message does not display when V and RL are off
because the device assumes a 3-Lead cable is attached.
