Status Messages at the Host Monitor
Various status messages related to the telemetry transmitter may show at the host monitor when there
is a problem with the signal or when the battery is low. The host monitor may be either the central
station or bedside monitor.
Caution:
• Do not ignore status messages.
•SpO
2
data may not show when the INTERMITTENT SIGNAL LOSS message appears.
• Status messages indicate a problem or condition which may affect accurate monitoring
values.
• Correct any fault before continuing.
The status messages that follow may appear at the host monitor. Refer to
SpO
2
Messages at the
Host Monitor
on page 3-16, for status messages related to SpO
2
.
• INTERMITTENT SIGNAL LOSS
Indicates that the patient may be out of antenna range or the battery is depleted. Return the patient
into antenna range. Check that the battery is functioning properly. A low-priority alarm occurs after
10 seconds in this condition.
• LOW BATTERY
Indicates the battery is weak. After this message appears, the battery has approximately one hour
of useful life left (depending on the type of battery used). Install a new battery. A low-priority alarm
occurs if the setup menu’s LOW BAT ON/OFF key is set to ON.
• SIGNAL INTERFERENCE
Indicates, through the triangle-shaped squelch waveform, that an interfering signal has been
detected. The patient’s signal can no longer be detected because of interference from a stronger
signal source lasting more than 0.5 seconds. A low priority alarm occurs whenever this message
appears in the waveform zone.
• IS SIGNAL LOSS PERMANENT?
Indicates no radio frequency (RF) signal is detected.
