Some profiles are locked, so that you cannot change them, even in Configuration Mode. These are
indicated by this lock symbol.
Understanding Settings
Each aspect of how the monitor works and looks is defined by a setting. There are a number of
different categories of settings, including,
Screen Settings, to define the selection and appearance of elements on each individual Screen
Measurement settings, to define settings unique to each measurement, for example, high and low
alarm limits
Monitor settings, including settings that affect more than one measurement or Screen and define
general aspects of how the monitor works, for example, alarm volume, reports and recordings, and
display brightness.
You must be aware that, although many settings can be changed in Monitoring Mode, permanent
changes to settings can only be done in the monitor’s Configuration Mode. All settings are reset to the
stored defaults:
when you discharge a patient
•when you load a Profile
when the monitor is switched off for more than one minute (if Automat. Default is set to
Yes).
Changing Measurement Settings
Each measurement has a setup menu in which you can adjust all of its settings. You can enter a setup
menu:
via the measurement numeric - select the measurement numeric to enter its setup menu. For
example, to enter the
Setup ECG menu, select the HR (heart rate) numeric.
via the Setup hardkey (on plug-in modules) - press the Setup hardkey on the module front.
