6.2 Switching On the Monitor

1 Check if all the metal parts are linked to the protective earth cord and the cord is in
good condition before switching on the monitor.
2 If any sign of damage is detected, or the monitor displays some error messages, do
not use it on any patient. Contact biomedical engineer in the hospital or our service
engineer immediately.
3 Check all the functions to make sure that the monitor is in good condition.
Press the POWER switch on the right panel to switch on the monitor. The power indicator lights
up and a start-up music will be heard. You can operate the monitor after the main interface
appears.
You can choose to switch the start-up music on or off,
1 Select the setup key
2 Select General > Start-up Music.
3 Select ON (default) or OFF.
4 Select OK.

6.3 Checking the Recorder Paper

The monitor provides the print self-check function to check if the recorder paper is correctly
loaded and set.
The recorder prints a baseline and paper settings after start-up (if Print Self-Check is ON).
Check if the paper settings match the paper being used (in the circled area below, P should
correspond to F9-P, and G to F9-G), and then observe the starts and ends of the printed baselines
(illustrated with the arrow). The starts and ends should be printed exactly on the edges of the pane
if the recorder paper is correctly loaded and set. If they do not comply with the edges, reload
paper or ask the service engineer to check the paper settings of the monitor.
