3) Connect the IUP cable to the connecting cable. (They might have already been well
connected in the package.)
4) Plug the connecting cable to the TOCO/IUP socket of the monitor.
5) Momentarily pressing the re-zero button on the IUP cable. The green light on the cable
will flash for five seconds. During this period, zero the monitor by pressing the AUTO
ZERO key. Make sure the display numeric and trace are both “0”.
6) Ask the mother to cough. A spike on the trace in response to the cough indicates proper
positioning and function of the IUPC.
7) Wash timely during monitoring. A spike on the tracing will respond to the washing.

3) If the light does not illuminate, replace the cable.
NOTE:
1 If the light is flashing, verify that the cable check plug is inserted completely into the
cable.
2 The cable test function is not intended to check the accuracy of the system, only to
confirm cable function.
