Host Monitors
The 96281 telemetry transmitter is compatible with the Ultraview SL
3800-38/-39 central monitor and the Ultraview and Ultraview SL
line of bedside monitors. For information on configuring battery
alarm status, enabling and adjusting alarms, assigning telemetry
channels, status or interference messages, refer to the operations
and service manuals for the specific monitor in use with the
telemetry transmitter devices.
If you use Ultraview SL 3800-38 or 3800-39 central monitor, refer to
the Ultraview SL Operations Manual, 91387 Service Manual, and to
