31     PRINTING & TRANSMITTING THE ECG

 

 

CHAPTER 4 

PRINTING & TRANSMITTING 
THE ECG 

The BIOLOG  3000

i

 has a number of methods of  printing and 

transmitting its data, after a recording has been made (Refer to Section 

1.2). 

 

4.1 Transtelephonic Transmission  

This is provided for backward compatibility with old systems, and is no 

longer supported. Transmission by digital modem is now recommended 

(see next section).  
To use this option: 
The BIOLOG 3000

i

 must be set to TRANSTELEPHONIC MODE (Refer 

to section 2.4.3.). 
Dial the number of the reception station then place the telephone 

mouthpiece over the Audio Outlet located on the lower right of the unit’s 

face (Figure 4.3).
