Configuration of Cableless Systems
You have to configure the radio channels of the Avalon CL and Avalon CTS transducer system for
communication to work, and not to interfere with any other telemetry devices.
The configuration of a connected Avalon CL system is done in Configuration Mode or Service Mode
of the fetal monitor. Service Mode functions can be used to identify channel assignment conflicts in
the hospital environment. The configuration should be carried out by authorized and qualified service
personnel, either by the hospital's biomedical department, or by Philips Support.
For a detailed description of the configuration see the Avalon CL Service Guide and the Fetal Monitor
Configuration Guide. For details regarding the configuration of a connected Avalon CTS system see
the Avalon CTS Service Guide.
Fetal Movement Profile
When using an Avalon CL or Avalon CTS you should be aware that monitoring FMP is not
recommended when the mother is likely to move, and you should disable Fetal Movement Profile
(FMP) on the fetal monitor (
Fetal Movement Off) if the mother is walking. Maternal movements are
likely to create artifact in the FMP output. See also “Switching FMP On and Off” on page 171, the
sections “Cableless Monitoring - Important Considerations” on page 167, and “Fetal Movement
Profile” on page 170.
