Wireless Communication to a Central Station

The Prism and Prism SE monitors have the capability to send vital sign data and waveforms
wirelessly to ESCORT-Link and ESCORT Vision central stations via modular transponders
(900 MHz - MDE part #20011 or 20011V, and 2.4 GHz - MDE part #20019 or 20019V) that
attach to the back of monitor. It is recommended service personnel install this if not already
installed.
NOTE: Transponders (both 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz) should be located
in an open area at least 6.30 inches (16 cm) from any metal objects
which could block or distort transmission or reception of signals.
