You have properly set up your monitor and understand both how the monitor functions and how to respond to
alarms. You are now ready to begin monitoring your child’s breathing, heart activity and SpO
2
level according
to the schedule prescribed by the physician.
Push the POWER button. The monitor performs a
system check. The lights on the front of the monitor will
come on briefly and the alarm will beep twice. Within 10 seconds, the green respiration and heart lights begin
to blink. If the lights do not blink, check that you have attached the
electrode belt properly to the child, that
the lead wires are pushed in, and that the cables are connected.
Once your child is properly connected to the monitor and the power is on, the following should occur:
•
The green (battery) charger light is on (solid or blinking).
•
The green
power light is on.
•
The green
respiration light and green
heart light are blinking. The
SpO
2
light is on (green).
•
LEDs display numeric values, when display is enabled. All other lights should be off.
•
If the lights do not blink, refer to the steps found in “Setting up the Monitor” in this manual and be sure
you have followed all instructions.
WARNING
If the alarm does not beep twice after the POWER button is pushed, contact your home care provider
immediately.
