If the Model 173 is interfaced to a central information system (CIS), be aware that the CIS may be
designed to alarm when there is no fetal heart rate signal. Therefore it is recommended that you
unplug the ultrasound and/or FECG transducers from the monitor, when not in use, to eliminate false
alarms.
