Using the RespSense II Monitor
Shut Down Modes
To conserve battery life, the monitor has two shut down modes – Standby mode and Deep Sleep
mode. Start-up from Standby mode is slightly faster than start-up from Deep Sleep mode.
Standby Mode
The monitor enters Standby mode if the battery indicator at shut down is green or if the monitor is
connected to a power supply.
Deep Sleep Mode
If the monitor is not plugged in and has been in Standby mode for more than an hour, it enters
Deep Sleep mode.
The monitor immediately enters Deep Sleep mode if the battery level at shut down is either low
(yellow battery indicator) or critical (red battery indicator).
Using the Mounting Bracket
The monitor can be equipped with a mounting bracket and adjustable mounting clamp, which fits
most vertical poles (see
). The mounting bracket is screwed onto the back of the
monitor.
After attaching the mounting bracket to the monitor, securely clamp the monitor to the pole.
System Setup
1. Place the monitor in a position so the display can be clearly seen.
• If using the monitor portably or in an environment without power, the monitor can operate
for approximately 5 hours on a fully-charged battery. The battery indicator on the display
shows the battery capacity.
• If using the monitor while connected to the power supply and a power outlet, the green
charging indicator is lit. The battery indicator on the display shows a lightning bolt to
indicate the battery is charging.
2. Visually inspect the monitor and make sure it has no visible signs of damage.
CAUTION:
When mounting the monitor to a mobile pole, mounting the monitor
higher than 1.5 meters (5 feet) or mounting more than 2 kilograms (4.5 pounds) of
equipment onto the pole may result in tipping, damage to the equipment, or injury.
CAUTION:
Do not mount the monitor directly above the patient. If the monitor is
mounted, be sure to check that the adjustable mounting clamp is securely affixed.
