Power Shutdown During Leads Fail
Transmitter
If all leads fail for more than about six seconds the microprocessor shuts
off power supplied to the RF modulator circuitry. This reduces the
battery discharge rate when no data actually transmits.
Once the leads are reconnected, about one second is required for the
microprocessor to power up the modulator circuitry and resume
transmitting patient data.
