Data Transfer
❏
The recorder transfers data to a printer or computer using the RS-232C
terminal.
❏ We recommend analysis of the data using the optional "Doctor Pro" analysis
software.
Caution
❏ Cap the RS-232C terminal to prevent dust and foreign matter from entering
when this terminal is not in use.
❏ Remove the recorder and cuff from the patient, when the recorder is
connected to a printer or computer.
Data Transmission to a Printer
Caution
❏
The recorder intensely consumes the battery power while connected to the
RS-232C cable. Disconnect the cable when not actually transferring data.
❏
Maintain the power-on state while transmitting the data so that the data
successfully transmitted.
❏
The RS-232C cable is required when connecting to a printer.
❏
The printer (to print the data) must have a serial inter face and adapt to the RS-
232C protocol of the recorder.
