Getting Started
Once you understand the basic operation principles, you can get ready for monitoring.
Inspecting the Monitor
WARNING If the monitor is mechanically damaged, or if it is not working properly, do not use it for any
monitoring procedure on a patient. Contact your service personnel.
1 Before you start to make measurements, carry out the following checks on the monitor including
all connected Measurement Servers, modules, or measurement server extensions.
Check for any mechanical damage.
Check all the external cables, plug-ins and accessories.
2 Plug the power cord into the AC power source. If you are using battery power, ensure that the
battery has sufficient power for monitoring. When you use a battery for the first time, you must
charge it, following the instructions given in the section on Charging Batteries.
3 Check all the functions of the instrument that you need to monitor the patient, and ensure that the
instrument is in good working order.
Switching On
Press the on/off switch on the monitor for one second. The monitor performs a self test and is then
ready to use. If you see a message such as
CO2 Sensor Warmup wait until it disappears before
starting monitoring that measurement. Connected devices usually take their power from the
monitor. External devices such as gas monitors and those connected via VueLink have their own
power switches.
CAUTION When using an MP90 monitor with a D80 Intelligent Display, always switch power on directly at the
MP90 or at a remote SpeedPoint or remote alarm device directly connected to the MP90.
Setting up the Measurement Servers and Modules
1 Decide which measurements you want to make.
