The monitor contains a memory system that automatically records information about each monitoring session.
This information can be transferred (or downloaded) to a computer to be reviewed by your physician. You may
be involved in the download if your monitor is equipped with a
modem or memory card. Whatever method
you use, you must transfer data when you get a memory 100% full condition. You may choose to transfer data
at any time or whenever you are instructed to do so by your home care provider or physician.

NOTE:
The monitor must be plugged into the electrical outlet during modem downloads.
There are three ways to download with a modem. The first choice involves the modem automatically calling the
home care dealer. This is called Modem Auto Dial. This doesn’t involve any action on your part. It is important
to know that the modem inside the unit may use the phone line. If you are going to use this feature, you should
give more specific instructions to the caregiver.
The second choice is called Modem Auto Answer in Communications mode. The child is not monitored while
the device is in Communications mode. When the home care provider calls the patient’s phone number, the
device will automatically answer and begin transfer of data.
