4.3 Starting and stopping the Tempus Pro and selecting a patient
4.3.1 Switching on
WARNING
Ensure the latches on both sides of the battery are fully engaged prior to using the
Tempus - an incorrectly fitted battery could result in the Tempus losing power during
use.
CAUTION
Do not press any of the controls until the Tempus has started.
To switch on the Tempus Pro, press and hold the button on the front panel for 1
second. The LED on the button will flash green. The device is ready for use when
the LED shines green constantly.
When the Tempus starts it will briefly light the alarm bar and sound the patient alarm. This is to demonstrate
that these functions are operational and must be checked by the user (with the tactical switch off).
4.3.2 Tactical mode (optional)
WARNING
To ensure that the Tempus Pro is sa
fe to use when colleagues are using NVGs (night
vision goggles), use only the settings in the green shaded NVG areas of the Tactical
Menu: LED Indicators set to off, Brightness set to Min, Low or Mid.
WARNING
The Tactical Switch is intended for use by
military and civilian pre
-
hospital care users
for scenarios where low emitted light and low emitted sound is required or desired.
Users are reminded that while these functions are enabled, the device will not emit
visual alarms from the alarm bar, will not emit audible alarms from the speaker and
may present a display that may be too dim to see in daylight conditions. Users
should therefore ensure that they use these features only when required and
recognise that greater levels of patient care and supervision will be required.
It should be noted that the Tempus may be started in a low emitted light and silent state by using the
Tactical switch on the right hand side of the device.
