Control Locking
The front panel controls may be locked so that settings cannot be accidentally changed. When the
controls are locked, the Control Lock LED will be on. If you try to select or change a control while the
Control Lock is on, the message LOCKED will be displayed in the display window and the Control
Lock LED will flash.
Two different levels of difficulty can be set for control unlocking: Easy and Hard. The Easy unlocking
method should be used when only trained personnel have access to the ventilator. The Hard method
should be used when children or others may have access to the ventilator and you want to prevent
accidental changes to the control settings. Easy unlocking is the default and this setting is changed
using the Extended Features menus
