4. Selecting “Start” in the Start/Setting screen will prompt a 10-second countdown “Start
Recording” confirmation message. Select “OK” if you are ready to proceed. (Please
note that not making any selection in the Start/Setting screen, and allowing the 30-
second countdown clock to expire, will have the same effect as selecting “Start”.)
5. A message will now appear for 5-10 seconds stating “Erasing ECG File”. This function
automatically deletes any existing ECG data present in the SD card.
6. The recorder has now begun to record patient ECG data. As the illustration below
shows, the LCD screen displays: the date in the upper left, the current time immediately
below it, the number of leads in the upper right, the time elapsed in blue, a green battery
life icon in the lower right, and a picture at the bottom indicating that pressing the
orange key on the recorder will display the various ECG leads in real-time. No action
on the part of the operator is needed beyond this point until the recorder is ready to be
removed from the patient for ECG data download.
