TELEMETRY TRANSMITTER (96281)
Basic Operations
Getting Started
Device setup must be performed before patient application and, on
appropriate units, the LCD should be visually verified to function
before use on a patient.
Transmitter Batteries
When batteries are installed, the transmitter is continuously ON. If
no batteries are installed, the transmitter is OFF. To extend battery
life, insert batteries only to use the transmitter with a patient.
Remove the batteries when the transmitter is not in use.
Spacelabs Healthcare recommends two AA 1.5-volt alkaline batteries
for standard use in the digital telemetry transmitter for a battery
source of 3 volts. Alternatively, you may use two AA-equivalent
2400 mAH NiMH rechargeable batteries.
Check the battery position and polarity, as shown at the bottom of
the battery compartment on the device. After battery installation,
close and latch the compartment cover. Transmission of telemetry
signals begin as soon as the battery is in place.
Refer to Battery Compartment (96281-A, 96281-B, 96281-C) on
page 4-8 for details on battery compartment labels and
components.
