1 Introduction
47
Manually entered measurement values are marked with a * on the display, in trends, and so forth. Each
measurement has a defined measurement interval after which a value becomes invalid (no value is then
displayed). Values can be entered up to two hours after they have been measured or up to the
measurement interval, if this is shorter.
The list of measurement labels which appears in the
Enter Measurement Values window is set in
Configuration Mode.
Switching Manually Entered Measurements On and Off
To switch a manually entered measurement on or off,
1 Select the Enter Values SmartKey or select Main Setup then select Enter MeasValues.
2 Select the measurement you want to switch on or off.
3 Select the measurement label field to switch between On and Off.
Changing Monitor Settings
To change monitor settings such as brightness, or QRS tone volume, select the Main Setup permanent
key and then select
User Interface to enter a submenu where you can change these settings.
Adjusting the Screen Brightness
To adjust the brightness:
1 Select the Brightness SmartKey.
2 Select the appropriate setting for the screen brightness. 10 is the brightest, 1 is the least bright.
Optimum is suitable for most monitoring locations and optimizes power usage for battery
powered monitors.
The MX400/450/500/550 monitors can be configured to automatically adapt the screen brightness to
the ambient light conditions. The range within which this adaptation is made is determined by the
setting made with the
Brightness SmartKey.
Your monitor may be configured with a lower brightness for Standby mode and also (for battery
powered monitors) for transport to conserve battery power. These settings can only be changed in the
monitor's Configuration Mode.
If you are using a monitor with an external display, the
Brightness SmartKey does not adjust the
brightness of this display. Refer to the documentation supplied with the external display for
instructions.
Setting the Date and Time
1 Select the Date, Time screen element from the monitor's info line to enter the Date, Time menu.
2 Select, in turn, the Year, Month, Day, Hour (in 24 hour format, only) and Minute as necessary.
Select the correct values from the pop-up list.
3 Select Store Date, Time to change the date and time.
If your monitor is connected to an Information Center, the date and time are automatically taken from
this. Once it is set, the internal clock retains the setting even when you switch off the monitor.
