When the patient monitor is connected to a docking station, use the

station) from AC power to turn the patient monitor off.
2. Restore the batteries to the patient monitor and plug the patient
monitor (or the docking station) into AC power to turn the patient
monitor on.
3. Verify all of the front panel indicators illuminate on power up.
4. Verify the AC indicator on the patient monitor stays illuminated.
