the EEG Impedance/Montage window and choose a montage from the list.

The electrode locations are labeled according to the international 10-20 electrode placement system.
Changing the Impedance Limit
The impedance limit can be set for all electrodes simultaneously in the Setup EEG menu, or in the
EEG Impedance/Montage window using the pop-up keys. If the limit is exceeded during
monitoring, an INOP will appear and the graphic impedance indicator will change.
To change the impedance limit, either
use the pop-up keys that appear with the EEG Impedance /Montage window, or
in the Setup EEG menu, select Impedance Limit to call up a list of selections between 1 and
30 kOhm, then select the required limit from this list.
