• Monitoring Mode: This is the normal, every day working mode that you use for monitoring
patients. You can change elements such as alarm limits, patient category and so forth. When you
discharge the patient, these elements return to their default values. Changes can be stored
permanently only in Configuration Mode. You may see items, such as some menu options or the
altitude setting, that are visible but ‘grayed out’ so that you can neither select nor change them.
These are for your information and can be changed only in Configuration Mode.
• Demonstration Mode: Passcode protected, this is for demonstration purposes only. You must
not change into Demonstration Mode during monitoring. In Demonstration Mode, all stored
trend information is deleted from the monitor’s memory.
• Configuration Mode: Passcode protected, this mode is for personnel trained in configuration
tasks. These tasks are described in the Configuration Guide. During installation the monitor is
configured for use in your environment. This configuration defines the default settings you work
with when you switch on, the number of waves you see and so forth.
• Service Mode: Passcode protected, this is for trained service personnel.
When the monitor is in Demonstration Mode, Configuration Mode, or Service Mode, this is indicated
by a box with the mode name in the center of the Screen and a symbol in the bottom right-hand
corner. Select the mode box in the center of the screen to change to a different mode.
When an X2 or MP5 is connected to a host monitor (
Companion Mode is indicated):
• The monitor in companion mode will adopt the operating mode of the host monitor.
• You cannot change the operating mode at the monitor in companion mode.
Standby Mode
Standby mode can be used when you want to temporarily interrupt monitoring.
To enter Standby mode,
• select the
Monitor Standby SmartKey or
•select
Main Setup, followed by Monitor Standby.
The monitor enters Standby mode automatically after the End Case function is used to discharge a
patient.
Standby suspends patient monitoring. All waves and numerics disappear from the display but all
settings and patient data information are retained. A special Standby screen is displayed. This can be
configured to a moving image or a blank screen. If a patient location is entered at the Information
Center, this will also be displayed on the Standby screen (availability depends on Information Center
revision).
To resume monitoring,
• Select anything on the screen or press any key.
If you connect an X2 or MP5 that is powered on (and not in Standby) to a host monitor in Standby
mode, the host will leave Standby mode. When connected to a host monitor, with both the host and
the monitor in companion mode in Standby mode, leaving Standby on the monitor in companion
mode will also make the host leave Standby.
