Respironics SmartMonitor 2 Service Manual page 63

Clock Chip Battery
Once every 15 years, the SmartMonitor 2 should be returned to Respironics for replacement of the clock chip, which contains an
internal lithium battery. If this battery is depleted, the monitor will sound a constant alarm, the LCD display will read “ERROR 2,” and
the memory may possibly be cleared, causing the alarm and record parameters to be set to standard values.
Respironics recommends that you consider replacement of the clock chip if the monitor is over 15 years old.
Operational Verification of Remote Alarm
1. Before using any Remote Alarm, first verify its proper operation by following the instructions that came with the device.
2. Connect a Model 990 Remote Alarm to the REMOTE ALARM output on the back of the Monitor. Move the
Remote Alarm at least 25 feet away from the monitor.
3. Turn the Remote Alarm POWER to on.
4. Press the SmartMonitor 2 POWER button to on. Repeat steps 5-9 of the Functional Self-Test.
5. Go the location of the Remote Alarm. Make sure you can also hear the alarm through the Remote Alarm and that the
MONITOR light on the remote Alarm is on. This light will come on each time the Monitor Alarms.
6. Turn the Remote Alarm POWER off.
7. Turn the Monitor POWER OFF (refer to Step 11 of the Functional Self-Test).
