The buttons to display the calibration means are active only if the
associated Parameter is active and an interface device is present.
1. Enter the Service Menu as described on page 5-3.
2. Select Calibrate... to display the following window.
3. CO2... will be active when an interface device with CO2 parameter is
connected to the Solar 9500. Select CO2...
4. Enter the current pressure by using the up and down arrows, the
slide bar or touching the keypad icon and entering the pressure from
the keypad pop-up.

Barometric pressure is used to calculate the percentage of CO2 in the
patient's airway from the mmHg value. This calculation is based on
the following equation: %CO2 = mmHg CO2 x 100% / mmHg
barometric pressure.
