What to do if there is radio frequency interference with Summit Doppler Medical Equipment?
If you experience radio frequency interference with your Summit Doppler Medical Equipment, try increasing the distance between the LifeDop and the source of the interference.
Why is the heart rate inaccurate on my Summit Doppler Medical Equipment?
If the heart rate displayed on your Summit Doppler Medical Equipment is inaccurate, relocate the probe for a better signal. For OB applications, make sure that maternal sounds are not mixing with fetal sounds. Also, manually count to ensure the rate is between 50 and 220 BPM.
Why doesn't my Summit Doppler Medical Equipment rechargeable unit hold a charge?
If your Summit Doppler Medical Equipment rechargeable unit does not hold a charge, first verify that you are using the correct recharge adapter, specifically Wallach Surgical Devices products. If the batteries are old, refer to the Maintenance Section.
Why is the recharge indicator flashing on my Summit Doppler Medical Equipment?
If the recharge indicator is flashing on your Summit Doppler Medical Equipment, it means the recharge cycle is complete or the batteries didn’t require recharge.
How to improve poor sound quality on Summit Doppler Medical Equipment?
If the sound quality of your Summit Doppler Medical Equipment is poor, relocate the probe for a better signal. Refer to the Signal Strength Indicator.
