Power up the monitor
The monitor runs a brief diagnostic self-test each time it powers up.
WARNING Equipment failure risk. The monitor includes a fan that
circulates air through the device. If the fan does not run when you power
up the device, remove it from use and inform qualified service personnel
immediately. Do not use the monitor until the problem is corrected.
WARNING To ensure patient safety, listen for an audible indicator and
watch for visual alerts at power-up at least once daily. Correct any system
errors before using the monitor. In addition to the audible indicator, the
monitor LED light bar illuminates to alert you of alarms. Amber indicates a
low-level alarm. Flashing amber indicates a medium-level alarm. Flashing
red indicates a high-level alarm.
WARNING Always observe the monitor during power-up. If any display
fails to illuminate properly, or if an error code displays, inform qualified
service personnel immediately, or call your nearest Welch Allyn Customer
Service or Technical Support facility. Do not use the monitor until the
problem is corrected.
CAUTION Always use the monitor with an adequately charged and
properly functioning battery.
CAUTION During continuous monitoring, keep the monitor connected to
AC power at all times.
CAUTION Use only a Class I (grounded) AC power cord for powering this
monitor.

Following a successful self-test, the monitor displays the Welch Allyn logo, the LED
