2 Basic Operation Operating Modes

Operating Modes

When you switch the monitor on, it starts up in monitoring mode. To change to a different mode:

1 Select the Main Setup menu.

2 Select Operating Modes and choose the mode you require.

Your monitor has four operating modes. Some are passcode protected.

• Monitoring Mode: This is the normal, every day working mode that you use for monitoring

patients. You can change elements such as alarm limits, patient category and so forth. When you

discharge the patient, these elements return to their default values. Changes can be stored

permanently only in Configuration Mode. You may see items, such as some menu options or the

altitude setting, that are visible but ‘grayed out’ so that you can neither select nor change them.

These are for your information and can be changed only in Configuration Mode.

• Demonstration Mode: Passcode protected, this is for demonstration purposes only. You must not

change into Demonstration Mode during monitoring. In Demonstration Mode, all stored trend

information is deleted from the monitor’s memory.

• Configuration Mode: Passcode protected, this mode is for personnel trained in configuration tasks.

These tasks are described in the Configuration 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, the number of waves you see and so forth.

• 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 with the mode name in the center

of the Screen and a symbol in the bottom right-hand corner. Select this

field to change to a different mode.
