Selecting Screen Elements
Select a screen element to tell the monitor to carry out the actions linked to the element.
You access most screen elements by touching that element directly. For example, select the FHR1
numeric to call up the
Setup FHR1 menu, or select the Start/ Stop SmartKey to start or stop the fetal
trace recorder.
However, some smaller screen elements are grouped together at the top of the screen in the
information area. To access one of these elements, touch anywhere in the information area, and select
the element from the selection list that appears. For example, to view alarm messages:
1
Touch the alarm status field, or anywhere else in the information area at the top of the screen. The
window with the selection list opens.
2
Select
Alarm Messages
from the list. This opens the
Alarm Messages
window, from where you
proceed to view the alarm messages.
Operating Modes
When you switch the monitor on, it starts up in monitoring mode. To change to a different mode:
1 Select the
Main Setup
menu.
2
Select
Operating Modes
and choose the mode you require.
Your monitor has four operating modes. Some are passcode protected.
•
Monitoring Mode : This is the normal mode for monitoring patients. You can change elements
such as alarm limits, and so forth. When you discharge the patient, these elements return to their
default values. Changes can be stored permanently in Configuration Mode. You may see items,
such as some menu options, that are visible but "grayed out" so that you can neither select nor
change them. These are for your information and can be changed in Configuration Mode.
• Demo Mode : Passcode protected, this is for demonstration and training purposes. You must not
change into Demonstration Mode during monitoring. When transducers are connected to the
monitor and the recorder is on, a demo trace is recorded, but this is not transmitted to an
information and surveillance system such as OB TraceVue.
• Configuration Mode : Passcode protected, this is for personnel trained in configuration tasks.
These tasks are described in the Service Guide . During installation the monitor is configured for use
in your environment. This configuration defines the default settings you work with when you
switch on.
• Service Mode : Passcode protected, this is for trained service personnel.
When the monitor is in Demonstration Mode, Configuration Mode, or Service Mode, this is indicated
by a box containing the mode name. Select this field to change to a different mode.
