3.
Observe the monitor front panel. With the N-3100 in STANDBY (turned
off), press the ON/STANDBY button. In order to successfully complete
the self-test, the monitor must perform the following sequence.
a.
The monitor emits three consecutively higher-pitched beeps.
b.
All indicators light momentarily as illustrated in Figure 3-1. Verify
that “8.8.8.” is shown in the SYSTOLIC, DIASTOLIC, and
MEAN/PULSE RATE displays.
Note:
Slight differences in the brightness of display segments and
indicators are normal and acceptable.

c.
All displays (except the POWER ON indicator) turn off briefly.
d.
Each segment in the digital displays lights individually in sequence
in a scanning, or firefly, test pattern and all indicators light
momentarily.
e.
The sequence of steps b and c will be repeated until all internal tests
are complete.
Note:
The number of times the sequence of steps b and c is
repeated is dependent on the amount of information stored
in trend memory. Typically, you will see two cycles of the
sequence.
f.
A single, 1-second beep is produced and all displays again illuminate
momentarily, indicating the automatic Power-On Self-Test is
complete.
g.
The POWER ON indicator and the MANUAL MODE indicator are
illuminated. A “–” is displayed in each window of the SYSTOLIC,
DIASTOLIC and MEAN/PULSE RATE displays. This is referred to
as the normal mode steady state.
