Turning Transmitter On
1. Check oximetry monitor to ensure it is on and functioning
properly, and that alarm settings are appropriate.
2. Check all transmitter connections:
a. Antenna is connected to transmitter,
b. Transmitter is plugged in and connected to power (AC
Indicator should be green),
c. Interface cable is connected to transmitter and to
monitor.
u The antenna must be connected to the transmitter before the
transmitter is turned on. Turning the transmitter on without the
antenna connected may damage the transmitter. Do not discon-
nect the antenna while the transmitter is turned on.
u Only use the power supply provided by Data Critical.
u A monitor that is running on battery will not communicate with
the transmitter, so the AlarmView System will not be able to
establish communication. The only exception is the Nellcor N-
395 monitor, which will continue to communicate with the
transmitter while operating on battery power.
3. Press On/Off button on top of transmitter
Indicators will flash on and off while the transmitter performs a
Power-On Self Test (POST) to check its function.
The Communications Indicator will turn green when the
transmitter has established communication with the monitor.
