information area. To access one of these elements, touch anywhere in the information area, and select
the element from the selection list that appears. For example, to view alarm messages:

Your monitor has four operating modes. Some are passcode protected.
•
Monitoring Mode: This is the normal mode for monitoring patients. You can change elements
such as alarm limits, and so forth. When you discharge the patient, these elements return to their
default values. Changes can be stored permanently in Configuration Mode. You may see items,
such as some menu options, that are visible but "grayed out" so that you can neither select nor
change them. These are for your information and can be changed in Configuration Mode.
•
Demo Mode: Passcode protected, this is for demonstration and training purposes. You must not
change into Demonstration Mode during monitoring. When transducers are connected to the
monitor and the recorder is on, a demo trace is recorded, but this is not transmitted to an
information and surveillance system such as OB TraceVue.
•
Configuration Mode: Passcode protected, this is for personnel trained in configuration tasks.
These tasks are described in the Service Guide. During installation the monitor is configured for use
in your environment. This configuration defines the default settings you work with when you
switch on.
•
Service Mode: Passcode protected, this is for trained service personnel.
When the monitor is in Demonstration Mode, Configuration Mode, or Service Mode, this is indicated
by a box containing the mode name. Select this field to change to a different mode.
