User's Manual Part 9

136 PC Utility Welch Allyn Propaq LT Vital Signs Monitor
After you reconfigure the monitor, the settings defined in the new configuration become
the ‘system defaults’, and the factory defaults are no longer in effect. The new system
defaults remain in effect until another configuration is downloaded to the monitor. If you
reconfigure the monitor and then want to restore the factory defaults, download the
configuration file “DefaultPropaqLTConfiguration.mnt.”
The monitor is reset to the system defaults (not the factory defaults) every time the
monitor power is cycled off and on, with one exception
: If a clinician has changed some
monitor settings at the bedside for a patient and then shuts off the monitor, the monitor
offers the options to “Delete and Shut Down” and to “Save and Shut Down”. If the
clinician selects “Save and Shut Down,” shuts off the monitor, and then turns on the
monitor again, the monitor prompts with the choice, “Start New Patient” or “Continue
Patient”. If the clinician selects “Continue Patient,” the monitor uses the settings that
were saved for that patient before the power was turned off. If the clinician selects “Start
New Patient,” the system default settings are restored.
• In the printed version of the configuration worksheet, the factory default values
are indicated by bold text.
• In the electronic version of the configuration worksheet, the factory default
values appear in the form fields when you first open the file,
PropaqLTMonCfgWS.doc.
• In the configuration utility, the factory default values appear in the data fields
when you open the default configuration file, DefaultPropaqLTConfiguration.mnt,
using the configuration utility.
