Shutting the iPC Down
The iPC will be shut down automatically when the monitor is switched off.
If you want to shut down the iPC when the monitor is on,
1 Select Main Setup then Internal PC.
2 In the Internal PC menu, select Switch PC off.
If there is a problem with the shutdown, and you need to switch off the iPC manually,
1 Select Main Setup then Internal PC.
2 In the Internal PC menu, select Force PC off to force the iPC to power down.
Special Situations at Shutdown
• If you switch the monitor off and then on again immediately, the iPC will continue running and
will not be shut down.
• In some situations, shutting down the iPC can take a little time. The monitor will go into Standby
mode until the shutdown is complete. By touching the touchscreen, you can bring the monitor
back into operating mode. If you do this, the iPC will restart when the shutdown is complete.
• If the shutdown cannot be completed within a certain time, a window will open giving the reason:
for example, that a file has not been saved, or that updates are being installed. You can then decide
whether to wait (for example, in the case of the updates) or to take action (for example by saving
the unsaved file). You will also have the option to force shutdown, if necessary.
Using Your Monitor with a Monitor in Companion
Mode
When you connect an X2 in companion mode to a host monitor, an integrated system is formed for
monitoring a single patient. The following general observations and considerations apply to such a
system:
• The host monitor is the "master" of the system, and you have full control over all the system's
operation only via the host monitor.
• Functions you can operate on a monitor in companion mode are restricted to measurements
originating in that device. If you try to operate controls that are disabled, you are prompted by the
message
Not available in Companion Mode.
• Depending on how it is configured, your host monitor can determine whether the user interface of
a connected monitor in companion mode is completely disabled or not, and what is displayed on
the screen (a standard main screen, or a blank screen indicating
Companion Mode).
This is controlled by two monitor settings that are applied to the monitor in companion mode on
connection. You can change the settings in Configuration Mode.
• Global settings such as line frequency, QRS sound and ECG lead colors from the host monitor,
are applied to the monitor in companion mode on connection. When disconnected from the host,
the monitor in companion mode re-applies its own global settings.
• No audible alarms are available on a monitor in companion mode when connected to a host
monitor. The only visual alarm indication is provided by the alarm lamps which are controlled by
the host monitor. Alarms become active again as soon as the monitor in companion mode is
disconnected from the host monitor.
