Keys, Indicators and Symbols
- 7 -
D. Visual Pulse Indicator
As soon as a pulse is found, the heartbeat is indicated by a green LED.
The VISUAL PULSE RATE INDICATOR simultaneously flashes with the
animal’s pulse. It typically begins to flash a few seconds before
numerical values for oxygen saturation and pulse rate are shown.
E. Low Battery Indicator
The LOW BATTERY INDICATOR illuminates when the
battery is near depletion. In order to continue battery-only
operation, the user needs to suspend measurements and
recharge the battery (using the method described in section
“POWER” in
Chapter 3 ).
F. Sensor Cable Connection
All Mediaid pulse oximetry sensors with RJ12
connectors are compatible with the Model 340V. To
connect a sensor to the oximeter, align the plug
with the jack on the oximeter and insert it gently until an audible “click” is
heard — indicating that the plug tab is latched in place. To remove,
squeeze the locking tab on the plug and slide the plug out of the jack.
G. Power Connection
For electric power, plug the adaptor into the pulse oximeter’s
POWER CONNECTION
, and then plug the other end of the
adaptor into a standard electrical outlet. (All Mediaid pulse
oximeters are designed to be used with the adaptor provided by
Mediaid Inc. at the time of purchase.)
NOTE
The pulse oximeter powers off shortly after a low-battery
indication. The Model 340V displays
B A T L O
if power-on is
attempted during a low battery condition.
NOTE
The sensor might move slightly in the connector.
