gel. Gently tug on the electrode adapter to ensure that the electrode
adapter is properly placed on the electrode.
Good and accurate placement on the first attempt should be your goal
for each electrode. Each time an electrode is lifted off the skin and
attached again, the conductive gel becomes weaker and less effective.

Your PageWriter 100 cardiograph attempts to acquire a good signal for
an Auto report before you press the
key. This is called Pre-
acquisition. Pre-acquisition is activated when the cardiograph is turned
on and remains active until an Auto report begins to print. Pre-
acquisition is deactivated by printing an Auto report to allow for copies
of the Auto report to be printed (see “Making Copies of Auto ECGs” ).
Pre-acquisition is also deactivated whenever an electrode is
disconnected.
Pre-acquisition is reactivated when a Manual report is finished printing.
When Pre-acquisition is active, it is important for the patient to stay
still and relaxed. This will help ensure a good signal is captured prior to
printing an Auto report.

Pre-acquisition is not used for Manual ECG reports. Manual ECG
reports display ECG data in real-time.
