The monitor screen
The screen shows five lines of text at one time. The first is the operating mode. The second is the current
open menu or function. The last three lines show either information or text that you can select for the
current function.
The HOME screen
Start from the HOME screen to get to the menus and screens
you use to set up the system. Use the HOME screen to view
the time and the sensor icon, which tells you if the
transmitter and monitor are communicating. If you do not
press any buttons for approximately 30 seconds, the monitor
automatically returns to the HOME screen.
When the monitor is on, the time and the battery icons
always show across the top of the HOME screen. The sensor
icon will not show until you start the sensor and establish
communication between the monitor and transmitter. If the time and battery icons do not show, the
monitor is not working.
Icons
The icons that show on the monitor screen are described below.
Sensor icon
A dark sensor icon means that the sensor is on and the monitor is
receiving sensor data. A light-colored sensor icon with a dark circle
around it means that the sensor is on, but the monitor is not
receiving sensor data. For information about the transmitter and
sensor, see the Setting up your transmitter and sensor chapter.
