Changing Menu Configurations
1
Turn the ABP monitor power ON and place it in the report generator chute. Press the left UP or
DOWN arrow key until the desired menu item number is displayed on the monitor. (To print the
menu item and its current setting, press the PRINT HELP key.)
2
Press the right UP or DOWN arrow key until the desired value is displayed on the right side of
the ABP monitor. When a YES or NO response is required, 00 = NO and 01 = YES.
3
Press ENTER.
Menu Configuration Example
Menu item 02 allows you to specify the time the patient normally wakes up. Assume that you want
to change this wake-up time from the current setting of 06:00 (meaning 6:00 A.M.) to 08:00.
1
Ensure that the ABP monitor power switch is ON and that the monitor is placed in the report
generator chute. Connect the report generator to external power.
2
After the ABP monitor shows a steady “0000,” press the left UP arrow key on the report
generator control panel until “0206” appears (where 02 is the menu item and 06 represents
6:00 A.M.).
3
Press the right UP arrow key on the control panel until “08” is displayed in the right half of the
ABP monitor (the new value will start flashing). If you hold the arrow key down, you will see that
the numbers scroll to 23 (denoting 11:00 P.M.) and then start over at 00. (The menu is always
in a 24-hour format.)
4
Press ENTER to change the waking hour to the displayed value. The new value will stop
flashing when it has been saved to memory.
Note:
The ABP monitor will continue to use the previous wake-up setting of 6:00 A.M. if the ENTER
key is not pressed.
Printing the Configuration Menu
A printout of current menu settings is useful when configuring the report generator. To print a copy
of this menu:
1
Ensure that the ABP monitor has fresh batteries installed and the report generator has paper
loaded and is connected to external power.
2
Power ON the ABP monitor.
3
A four-digit number will be displayed on the ABP monitor, and then a time value will appear with
a flashing colon (you can later set the correct time from the menu).
4
Place the ABP monitor in the chute. It will display “9999” and then quickly run through a series
of numbers. The display will then show a steady “0000.”
5
Press the left UP arrow key once. The ABP monitor should now display “0100.” If the display
shows anything other than 0100, press the left UP or DOWN arrow key until the ABP monitor
displays 0100.
6
Press ENTER. The report generator will now print out the full menu along with the current
settings (if this is the first time to print the menu, it will reflect factory default settings). This
process takes several minutes.
Keep this menu printout for future reference.
