Docking Slot for Cableless Measurement Pods
The Avalon CL base station has one docking slot to hold a CL F&M Pod or an IntelliVue CL Pod.
The CL Pod is charged while docked. The LED under the docking slot indicates the battery status of
the CL Pod. The base station has a built-in short range radio interface with an integrated antenna to
communicate with the CL Pod.
WARNING
Short range radio connections are subject to interruption due to interference from other radio sources
in the vicinity, including microwaves, bluetooth devices, WLAN devices (802.11b,g,n), and cordless
phones. Depending on the strength and duration of the interference, the interruption may occur for an
extended period. A loss of connection, due to moving out-of-range, interference, or for other reasons,
is indicated with a

Pods, or a cl NBP Disconnect or cl SpO₂ Disconnect INOP at the fetal monitor. Correct channel
configuration is important, see the Configuration Guide for details.
Audio Signal CL Base Station
The Avalon CL base station has two audio signals:
• If the base station issues a descending tone sequence, the attempt to set up radio communication
to a CL transducer or CL Pod has failed.
• The base station issues a permanent beeping tone if it is disconnected from a fetal monitor, or if
the FM20 or FM30 monitor is switched off, and the base station has transducers or a Pod
currently docked that need to be recharged.
Alarming is only available at the Avalon Fetal Monitor, not at the Cableless Measurement Devices, see
the Instructions of Use for the IntelliVue Cableless Measurements.
