arrow keys or the keypad.
6. Touch the Home tab.
The new alarm settings take effect immediately.
Manual parameters frame
The Manual parameters frame, located in the lower right of the Home tab, supports
manual entry of parameters and displays measurements taken by some accessories.
Note Body mass index (BMI) is only available with an attached weight scale that
calculates BMI.
Note When a measurement is transferred from an attached weight scale to the
device, the measurement displayed on the device is within one decimal
place (0.1) of the measurement displayed by the weight scale.
Note
You cannot manually enter temperature in this frame on a device
configured with a SureTemp Plus temperature module.
Note You cannot manually enter respiration rate in this frame on a device
configured with CO2, RRa, or EarlySense.
Enter manual parameters
Note The Manual parameters frame enables you to enter measurements taken
manually and displays measurements taken by some accessories. You can
select and configure the parameters in Advanced settings. Only four
parameters appear in the Manual parameters frame.
CAUTION Weight scales attached to this monitor must be running on
battery power (battery type is specified in the weight scale manufacturer's
directions for use). Do not use the weight scale's external power supply.
CAUTION Before weighing a patient on any weight scale connected to the
monitor, disconnect all sensors from the patient. Doing so ensures an
accurate weight measurement and significantly reduces electrostatic
discharges that might disrupt the monitor.
1. From the Home tab, touch anywhere within the Manual parameters frame.
