Mounting Instructions; Setup - Welch Allyn 679 Operating Instructions Manual

WALL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
The optional wall mount bracket should be mounted approximately 48 inches
from the floor. This allows the end user of average height relatively easy access
to the probe and probe covers. It should have at least 12 inches of clearance on
the top of the unit so that the end user can easily remove the thermometer probe
and load a probe cover without hindrance. Clearance of at least 4 inches from
the bottom of the unit and from either side is also advisable to prevent tangling
of the probe cord with other equipment at the bedside.
The wall mount bracket should be mounted in a location so that when a
thermometer is installed, the display can be read from the patient's bedside.
Placement should also ensure that the probe can be readily removed from
the thermometer, a probe cover can be easily installed and the probe can
be returned to its position without stress being placed on either the
instrument, the wall mount or most importantly, the patient.

SETUP

1. Install the supplied Oral/Axillary probe or optional Rectal probe by
inserting the latching plug on the end of the coiled cord into the plug
receptacle on the unit. The plug snaps into place and cannot be removed
without depressing the latch. (Figure 1).
Note: The Oral probe is also used to take Axillary measurements.
2. Observe the LCD to see that the probe
type OrL = Oral or rEC = Rectal is
displayed.
3. Insert probe shaft completely into probe
storage channel.
4. Remove the probe from the storage
channel.
5. Observe the LCD to see that all display
segments appear followed by the display
of the probe type OrL = Oral or rEC =
Rectal and temperature scale (°C or °F).
Replace probe in storage channel.
6. Insert a box of disposable probe covers
(part number 05031) into the probe
