Understanding Settings
Each aspect of how the MX40 works and looks is defined by a setting. There
are a number of different categories of settings, including:
 Screen Settings - to define the selection and appearance of elements on
each individual display screen.
 Measurement Settings - to define setting unique to each measurement,
e.g. high and low alarm limits.
 Monitor Settings -including settings that affect more than one
measurement or display screen, for example alarm volume and alarm
pause time.
You must be aware that, although many settings can be changed during
use, permanent changes to settings can only be done in Configuration
Mode. All settings are restored to their default setting when the patient is
discharged or the MX40 is powered off.
Changing Measurement Settings
Each measurement has a setup menu in which you can adjust its settings.
You enter the setup menu by selecting the measurement numeric.
