1Starting Monitoring
Inspecting the Monitor
1 Before you start to make measurements, carry out
the following checks on the monitor including all
connected Measurement Servers, or measurement
server extensions.
– Check for any mechanical damage.
– Check all the external cables, plug-ins and
accessories.
2 Plug the power cord into the AC power source. If
you are using battery power, ensure that the battery
has sufficient power for monitoring. When you use
a battery for the first time, you must charge it,
following the instructions given in the Instructions
for Use section on Charging Batteries.
3 Check all the functions of the instrument that you
need to monitor the patient, and ensure that the
instrument is in good working order.
Switching On
• Press the on/off switch on the monitor for one
second. The monitor performs a self test and is
then ready to use. If you see a message such as
CO2 Sensor Warmup wait until it
disappears before starting monitoring that
measurement. Connected devices usually take
their power from the monitor
