Chapter 3 -Event Recording

The Event Recording Procedure

The DR200/HE and DR300 digital recorders can be used as a looping event recorder to capture 
events automatically or when activated by the patient. Based upon your settings, the recorder 
can capture up to 90 minutes of event recordings. When one or more events are captured, the 
patient may transmit his/her recordings transtelephonically. 

Note: No SD Card is used during event recording. 

To record in Event mode, follow these steps:

Step 1

 - Hook-up the patient;

Step 2 

- Prepare the recorder;

Step 3 - 

Start recording.
