DL700 Holter Monitor e) The green operating LED will start to blink at a steady rate to indicate normal operation. The LED will blink at this rate for up to 15 minutes allowing time to verify that the signal on each channel is acceptable. After this startup interval, the LED will begin blinking at a slower rate to indicate that ECG recording has begun. The final blink rate will vary somewhat depending on the storage capacity of the flash card and the patient signal characteristics.
