Understanding Settings
Each aspect of how the monitor works and looks is defined by a setting. There are a number of
different categories of settings, including,
Screen Settings, to define the selection and appearance of elements on each individual Screen
Measurement settings, to define settings unique to each measurement, for example, high and low
alarm limits
Monitor settings, including settings that affect more than one measurement or Screen and define
general aspects of how the monitor works, for example, alarm volume, reports and recordings, and
display brightness.
You must be aware that, although many settings can be changed in Monitoring Mode, permanent
changes to settings can only be done in the monitor’s Configuration Mode. All settings are reset to the
stored defaults:
•when you discharge a patient
•when you load a Profile
•when the monitor is switched off for more than one minute (if Automat. Default is set to
Yes).
Changing Measurement Settings
Each measurement has a setup menu in which you can adjust all of its settings. You can enter a setup
menu:
•via the measurement numeric - select the measurement numeric to enter its setup menu. For
example, to enter the Setup ECG menu, select the HR (heart rate) numeric.
•via the Main Setup SmartKey - if you want to setup a measurement when the measurement is
switched off, use the Main Setup SmartKey and select Measurements. Then select the
measurement name from the popup list. With this permanent key you can access any setup menu in
the monitor.
•via the Measurement Selection key.
Switching a Measurement On and Off
When a measurement is off, its waves and numerics are removed from the monitor’s screen. The
monitor stops data acquisition and alarming for this measurement.
1 Enter the measurement’s setup menu and select the measurement.
2 Select the measurement name to toggle between on and off. The screen display indicates the active
setting.
Adjusting a Measurement Wave
To quickly adjust wave-related measurement settings (such as speed or size), select the measurement
wave itself. This displays the measurement Wave menu, which has only wave-related measurement
settings.
