6.2 Switching On 

WARNING

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. 

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 

  on the main interface. 

2 Select General > Start-up Music. 

3 Select ON (default) or OFF. 

4 Select OK. 

6.3 Checking 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.
