Why doesn't my monitor battery last very long?
• A short battery life does not always mean something is wrong with your monitor. Battery life in your
monitor varies, based on the conditions below:
• The brand of battery you use (Energizer is recommended).
• The way the battery was stored and/or handled before use (avoid high or low temperatures).
• How you use your monitor. For example: how often the buttons are pushed, the number of
alarms/alerts that occur, and if you keep your graphs on continuous display.
• Using certain system features (the backlight, vibrate, and meter options) shorten battery life.
What is a CHECK SETTINGS alarm?
This alarm reminds you to make sure that all your settings are correct. A CHECK SETTINGS alarm occurs
after:
• The user settings were cleared automatically by the system (set back to their defaults) because there
was an E-error alarm.
• You cleared your settings manually using the Clear Settings feature.
My screen looks distorted
The screen may look distorted or have a rainbow-like appearance if you wear polarized sunglasses, are in
bright sunlight, or when it is very hot or very cold. This is normal for this type of screen on any device. If
your screen looks distorted:
• Take off your sunglasses.
• Move into the shade.
• Make sure that your monitor is not in direct heat (next to a heater) or cold (worn outside your clothing
on a very cold day).
I dropped my monitor
1 Check the LCD, keypad and monitor case for cracks or damage.
2 Review the STATUS screen and your monitor settings to make sure they are still correct.
3 Run the Selftest to make sure that the system still works properly.
4 Call the HelpLine or your local representative for assistance if necessary.
