Turning the Transceiver On/Off
4-4 Basic Operation
RF Auto
Shutoff
When RF Auto Shutoff is enabled (default), the transceiver stops broadcasting a
radio signal in order to prevent interference with other transceivers in use. This
condition occurs if there is no ECG signal for 10 minutes and the SpO
2
sensor
cable is not inserted in the SpO
2
sensor port. The technical alarm, "No Signal",
followed by the "Transmitter Off" INOP will be displayed at the Information
Center. Remove the batteries to conserve battery charge. However, if there is no
ECG signal for 10 minutes but the SpO
2
cable is inserted, the transceiver does
not stop broadcasting the signal.
To restart monitoring, insert batteries (if needed), attach leads to the patient,
insert the SpO
2
sensor cable in the SpO
2
sensor port and press the Check button
to verify association with the Information Center.
Standby
Mode
Standby mode is used to temporarily suspend monitoring at the Information
Center, for example, when a patient goes out of access point range or is
discharged.
Standby does not power down the transceiver, so if the standby period is
prolonged, you should remove the batteries.
Initiating
Standby
Step Action
1 Do not remove the leads until after the patient is in Standby. This
will avoid an "ECG Leads Off" technical alarm, as well as
reminders, if configured.
2 In the Patient Window, select the
Standby button.
3 Select the duration of the standby period (depending on your
system’s configuration: Infinite, 4 Hours, 3 Hours, 2 Hours, 1 Hour,
30 Minutes, 20 Minutes, or 10 Minutes).
Note—If the patient will be discharged, select “Infinite” as the
standby duration.
