Unpacking the Monitor
Carefully remove the monitor and its accessories from the shipping carton. Save the packing
materials in case the monitor must be shipped or stored.
Compare the packing list with the supplies and equipment you received to make sure you
have everything you’ll need.
Installing the Batteries
The oximeter uses 4 standard “AA” alkaline cells, IEC Type LR6.
To install/replace the batteries:
Depress the battery door tab and lift up.
Install the negative end of each battery first, compressing the battery terminal spring until
the positive terminal clears the positive tab. Press the battery down into place.
Place battery door tabs into the slots of the monitor back panel, depress the door tab and
press the door into place.
NOTE! If you install disposable batteries, be sure to dispose of them in compliance with
your institution’s guidelines and local ordinances.
NOTE! The unit will hold data for about one and a half minutes with no battery power. This
allows for battery replacement without loss of stored data.
