FRONT PANEL JACKS
ECT Stimulus Jack
This 2-pin jack labeled “ECT” is located below and to the left of the IMPEDANCE TEST button. It accepts the
plug from the ECT stimulus cable.
EEG/ECG/EMG Monitoring Jack
This 9-pin jack labeled “EEG/ECG/EMG” is located below and to the right of the IMPEDANCE TEST button. It
accepts the plug from the EEG/ECG/EMG monitoring cable.
It is impossible to insert the plug from the stimulus cable into the monitoring jack and vice versa.
Forcing the wrong cable in will break the connector.
FLEXDIAL™ OPERATION
The FlexDial™ has 18 different user-selectable functions, plus the ability to change EEG gain while the printer
is running. All functions and options can be displayed, then selected with alternating rotations and presses of the
FlexDial™, according to the following general principles:
1. Rotating the FlexDial™ in either direction provides a sequential display of all functions or options in that
particular level. You can reach any other function or option in the same level by rotating the dial.
2. Pressing the FlexDial™ selects the function or option displayed in the 8-character L.E.D. and advances to the
next choice.
3. Pressing, holding in, and rotating the FlexDial™ while the printer is running allows the operator to rapidly
change the gain in all EEG channels.
To Enter FLEXDIAL™ Mode:
With power on, press the FlexDial™. The most recently selected function in the “SETTING” level will appear in
the 8-character L.E.D. The FlexDial™ dot L.E.D. will flash to indicate that you are now in the FlexDial™ mode.
These function headings (e.g., “SETTING”, “PROGRAMS”, “INDEXES”, etc.) do not change a particular
setting, but are the FlexDial™ locations from which to select a range of related options. For example, selecting
the “PROGRAMS” function, leads you to the options of: the traditional DGx program, three Low Charge Rate
programs, the Intermittent (Pulse Volley) stimulus mode, and the USER mode.
