Unpacking and Inspection
To unpack and inspect Root

damage or exposed electronics.
2. Confirm that you have all components for the Root by checking all materials
against the packing list:

Guidelines for Setting Up
Root has a built-in bracket interface that allows it to be mounted on a pole or roll stand.
When setting up Root, follow these guidelines:
•
Place on a stable, hard, flat, and dry surface near the patient.
•
Maintain a minimum of three (3) centimeters (one [1] inch) of free space around
Root.
•
Ensure that the back panel speaker is not covered to avoid a muffled alarm sound.
•
Charge Root's battery fully before use. See Initial Battery Charging on page 25.
Root should not be operated outside the environmental conditions listed in the
specifications section. See
Environmental
on page 120.
