12 Setup CP 150 12-lead resting electrocardiograph Powering the electrocardiograph The electrocardiograph runs on AC or battery power. Plug the electrocardiograph into AC power as often as possible so that the built-in charger can keep the battery charged. Regardless of the battery condition, you can use the electrocardiograph whenever it is plugged in.
• Z-fold thermal paper should stop with perforations near the tear bar, indicating proper cue-sensor operation. 3. If you see any indications of improper operation, contact Welch Allyn Technical Support. Connecting to a CardioPerfect workstation You can connect a electrocardiograph to a Welch Allyn CardioPerfect workstation via USB cable or via Ethernet cable.
