A-2 Frequently Asked Questions
How long will the battery last in Medic Mode
™
?
If the monitor is left on continuously in Medic Mode, the disposable
lithium cell will last approximately 48 hours.
How do I know if my monitor has the Medic Mode
™
option?
Medic Mode will be listed in the Setup Monitor menu. Press the Menu
button on the monitor, then select Setup Monitor.
You can also look at the label on the back of the monitor. The model
number will begin with MED.
Will a common AA alkaline or Ni-Cad battery work in my
monitor?
No! They are the wrong voltage and wrong design. Use only SAFT
LS14500 batteries, available from Mini Mitter.
What should I do if the monitor and sensors are
separated for more than 30 minutes?
First, try bringing the monitor within range of the sensors and wait for 2
minutes. If the monitor does not lock on to the sensors, try turning the
monitor power off, then back on. The monitor will attempt to lock on to
the sensors. If this is not successful, it is likely the sensors have been lost
from tracking. Unfortunately, once a sensor is lost from tracking, it may
not be brought back on line. A lost sensor should be removed from the
tracking list by using “Remove Sensor” on page2-16. This is under the
Sensors Option menu.
Can I still receive data from a “lost” sensor?
Yes, but only if you have Medic Mode, an optional feature of VitalSense.
Details can be found in “Medic Mode” on pageC-1.
Why does the Power button seem to work intermittently?
This is actually by design. The Power button must be held down at least
½-second to power up the monitor. This is to prevent the accidental
operation of the button if jostled in the carrying pouch.
What is the purpose of Lockout Mode?
Lockout Mode is a feature that prevents “idle tampering” of the monitor,
and also reduces the chance of the inadvertent pressing of front panel
buttons during use.
Why may I not have an MRI?
The components within both the Capsule Sensor and Dermal Sensor
contain elements which are incompatible with MRI procedures. You
would risk injury to yourself.
