Preparing the Monitor for Patient Use
The following steps should be performed prior to each patient monitoring session:

automatically stops when paper runs out. If the recorder requires paper, refer to
“Loading Strip Chart Paper” on page 4-2 .
2. Press the Power button and wait for the monitor to complete the self-test routine.
Refer to “Monitor Self-Test Routines” on page 4-8 . Ensure the monitor enters
the normal operating mode.
NOTE:
Refer to “Customizing the
Monitor” on page 4-10 if you need to
change an alarm or time/date setting.
3. Check the status of the monitor’s alarms disabled indicator. When lit the alarms
are disabled.
4. If the alarms are enabled , check the strip chart printout and acknowledge the
settings for the high and low alarm limits for the fetal heart rate.
5. Check the time and date that is printed on the strip chart paper.
6. Attach the appropriate transducer(s) for monitoring. Read the “Maternal/Fetal
Monitoring Operator’s Manual” for instructions on applying the transducers.

front of the recorder drawer.
