Important Patient and Safety Information
The PageWriter Touch cardiograph isolates all connections to the patient from electrical
ground and all other conductive circuits in the cardiograph. This reduces the possibility of
hazardous currents passing from the cardiograph through the patient’s heart to ground.
WARNING Failure to follow these warnings could affect both patient and operator safety.
WARNINGDo not connect the modem card to a phone line when the cardiograph is connected to a
patient.
WARNING Do not touch accessible connector pins and the patient simultaneously.
Electrical shock hazard. Keep cardiograph, Patient Interface Module (PIM) and all
cardiograph accessories away from liquids. Do not immerse the cardiograph, PIM, or
other accessories in any liquids.
WARNING When using additional peripheral equipment powered from an electrical source other
than the cardiograph, the combination is considered to be a medical system. It is the
responsibility of the operator to comply with IEC 60601-1-1 and test the medical system
according to the requirements. For additional information contact Philips Medical
Systems.
WARNING Do not use non-medical peripherals within 6 feet of a patient unless the non-medical
peripherals receive power from the cardiograph or from an isolation transformer that
meets medical safety standards.
WARNING The Welsh bulb electrodes (available as an accessory for the cardiograph) do not meet
the requirements of IEC 60601-2-25 for defibrillation recovery time, and cannot be
reliably used for patient diagnosis following defibrillation.
PageWriter Touch Cardiograph Service Manual1-5
Page 19
IntroductionImportant Patient and Safety Information
When operating the cardiograph on AC power, ensure that the cardiograph and all other
electrical equipment connected to or near the patient are effectively grounded.
Use only grounded power cords (three-wire power cords with grounded plugs) and
grounded electrical outlets. Never adapt a grounded plug to fit an ungrounded outlet by
removing the ground prong or ground clip. If an un gro un ded plu g ad ap ter is r equired, use a
ground strap to connect the equipotential post (rear of the cardiograph, see page 1-13) to the
power source ground. Use the equipotential post when redundant earth ground is necessary
according to IEC 60601-1.
If a safe ground connection is not ensured, operate the cardiograph on battery power only.
The use of equipment that applies high frequency voltages to the patient (including
electrosurgical equipment and some respiration transducers) is not supported and may
produce undesired results.
Periodically inspect the patient data cable, lead wires, and AC power cord for any worn or
cracked insulation.
Keep the patient data cable away from power cords and any other electrical equipment.
Failure to do so can result in AC power line frequency interference on the ECG trace.
The Philips Medical Systems patient data cable (supplied with cardiograph) is an integral
part of the cardiograph safety features. Use of any other patient data cable may compromise
defibrillation protection and degrade cardiograph performance.
Only qualified personnel may service the cardiograph or may open the cardiograph housing
to access internal cardiograph components. Do not open any covers on the cardiograph.
There are no internal cardiograph components that are serviced by the operator.
Do not use this cardiograph near flammable anesthetics. It is not intended for use in
explosive environments or in operating rooms.
The use of the analog ECG output signal port (not supported on cardiograph, see page 1 -13)
should not be used when critical synchronization timing is required.
Do not touch the patient, patient data cable, or cardiograph during defibrillation. Death or
injury may occur from the electrical shock delivered by the defibrillator.
Ensure that the electrodes or lead wires do not come in contact with any other conductive
materials (including earth-grounded materials) especially when connecting or disconnecting
electrodes to or from a patient.
Connecting multiple cardiographs to the same patient may pose a safety hazard due to the
summation of leakage currents. Any combination of instruments should be evaluated by
local safety personnel before being put into service.
Do not pull on the paper while an ECG report is being printed. This can cause distortion of
the waveform and can lead to potential misdiagnosis.
Do not connect any equipment to the cardiograph RS-232 port that does not meet medical
safety requirements and that has not been evaluated by local safety personnel.
1-6PageWriter Touch Cardiograph Service Manual
Page 20
IntroductionImportant Patient and Safety Information
Equipment connected to the cardiograph RS-232 port can cause ground leakage currents
exceeding the maximum specified in IEC 60601-1 safety standards.
Do not connect any equipment to the cardiograph RS-232 port if a patient is connected to
the cardiograph.
Only use the Philips Medical Systems AC power cord supplied with the cardiograph.
Periodically inspect the AC power cord and AC power connector (rear of cardiograph, see
page 1-13) to ensure that both are in a safe and operable condition. If the AC power cord or
AC power connector is not in a safe or operable condition, operate the cardiograph on
battery power and contact Philips Medical Systems for service.
The cardiograph has been safety tested with the recommended accessories, peripherals, and
leads, and no hazard was found when the cardiograph is operated with cardiac pacemakers
or other stimulators.
Do not connect any equipment or accessories to the cardiograph that are not approved by
Philips Medical Systems or that are not IEC 60601-1 approved. The operation or use of
non-approved equipment or accessories with the cardiograph is not tested or supported, and
cardiograph operation and safety are not guaranteed.
Only install Philips Medical Systems software on the cardiograph. The installation or use of
software not approved by Philips Medical Systems is strictly prohibited and cardiograph
safety and performance are not guaranteed.
Only use Philips Medical Systems replacement parts and supplies with the cardiograph. The
use of non-approved replacement parts and supplies with the cardiograph is strictly
prohibited. Cardiograph safety and performance are not guaranteed when non-approved
replacement parts and supplies are used with the cardiograph.
Manual measurements of ECG intervals and magnitudes should be performed on printed
ECG reports only. Do not make manual measurements of ECG intervals and magnitudes on
the touchscreen display since these ECG representations are scaled.
Only use patient electrodes that are approved by Philips Medical Systems. The use of non-
approved patient electrodes may degrade cardiograph perfo rmance.
The Philips Medical Systems warranty is applicable only if you use Philips Medical
Systems approved accessories and replacement parts. See “Supplies and Ordering
Information” on page 1-24 for more information.
For information on the standard IEC 60601-2-51, please go to the Philips InCenter web site

IntroductionPhilips 12-Lead ECG XML Information and Tools
Philips 12-Lead ECG XML Information and Tools
The PageWriter Touch cardiograph exports ECG data in XML (Extensible Markup Language)
format. For software version C.01.02 and higher, there are two available XML schema
versions on the cardiograph, version 1.03 and version 1.04. Versio n 1 .03 ex po rts ECG data in
12-lead format only, and version 1.04 exports ECG data for up to 16 leads.
The Philips 12-lead XML Utilities are only compatible with ECG data exported in 12-lead
format using XML version 1.03. The Philips 12-lead XML Utilities are not compatible with
16-lead ECG data exported using XML schema version 1.04. To transmit 16-lead ECG files to
the XML Utilities, XML version 1.03 must be selected as the default XML version for the
cardiograph. Using XML version 1.03, 16-lead ECGs are then downsampled as standard 12lead ECGs when transmitted to the XML Utilities (ECG data from the extended leads is
deleted, and only ECG data from the standard 12-leads is transmitted). For more information
on specifying a default XML version on the cardiograph, see "About XML Versions" on
page 8-8 of the PageWriter Touch Cardiograph Instructions for Use, Edition 7.
NOTE The default XML version setting on the cardiograph must be coordinated with the XML version
compatibility of a TraceMasterVue ECG Management System used by your facility.

The PageWriter Touch cardiograph system performs acquisition, analysis, presentation,
printing, storage, and transfer of ECG waveforms and other patient clinical data.
The PageWriter Touch cardiograph consists of three major subsystems:
Main controller
A single-board computer (SBC) with extensive I/O facilities, running Windows CE 3.0.
The PageWriter Touch application software runs on the main controller, which includes
the display and user-input subsystems.
Print controller
A controller board which provides all the real-time management of the printer. The print
controller communicates with the main controller through USB.
Patient Input Module (PIM)
A controller running Windo ws CE 3.0, coup led with a sig nal acquisition board employi ng
Philips proprietary mixed-signal ASIC technology for ECG acquisition. The PIM
communicates with the main controller through USB.
Hardware Logical View
Control of the PageWriter Touch cardiograph is provided by application software running on
the main control board, interacting with numerous hardware and software subsystems. The
following are high-level descriptions of these various subsystems.
Main Control Board
The main control SBC contains loader software and the Windows CE kernel image in its
internal flash memory (32 MB). At system boot, a system RAM test is performed by the loader
(onboard RAM is 64 MB), and then the Windows CE kernel loads. When CE loads, the
application launcher runs, verifying system and executable images before loading the
SierraGUI application. All interaction with the operator is through the SierraGUI application.
The application software, as well as all ECG archives, are stored on a separate 128 MB or
higher CompactFlash (CF) card installed in the main control board.
The following illustration provides an overview of the device and interfaces provided by the
main control board.

Theory of OperationHardware Logical View
Patient Information Module (PIM)
The PIM is an SA1110-based WinCE subsystem, which is connected by USB to the main
control board. It provides real-time data acquisition of ECG signal from an electrode
connected patient.
Printer Control (USB)
The printer control board is a processor-based control board for the PageWriter Touch thermal
printer mechanism. The board is connected by USB to the main control board and is powered
by the power circuit of the main control board. It provides ECG waveform rendering and basic
bitmap imaging operations, and uses a PCL-like control lan guage API for page description an d
feed control. It controls the print head, motor, and detects drawer-open and top-of-form.
Diskette Drive (USB)
The cardiograph has a USB 3.5” diskette drive, which provides DOS HD 3.5 diskette readand-write access. It works with the supplied WinCE2.0 driver USBFDD.DLL.
USB External Drive
The cardiograph has an external USB drive accessed from the rear panel of the cardiograph.
The USB drive is used with the optional USB memory stick.
Smart Batteries (SMB)
The cardiograph uses twin 10.8V lithium ion batteries, which provide industry-standard SMB
power management and communications support. Chargi ng and switching of batteries is
dictated by the main control board.
Keyboard (PS/2)
The cardiograph includes a laptop-format, PS/2, sealed, full key action keyboard. It includes a
keyboard matrix and daughter board, which provides language-specific keyboard support and
decoding via PS/2 and standard WinCE device drivers for key input into the PageWriter
Touch cardiograph and is powered by PS/2 connection.
Magnetic Card Reader (Serial)
Also available is a magnetic card strip reader, which provides ISO and standard encoded
magnetic strip support via RS-232 serial internal connection to main control board. Manual
removal and insertion is required.

Top Level ECG Data Flow and Storage Theory of Operation
Barcode Reader (PS/2)
Also available is a keyboard-emulating barcode scanner and reader, which connects through
an external PS/2 connector and provides standard barcode scanning capability. It emulates a
keyboard, allowing scanned codes to be presented to the PageWriter Touch cardiograph as if
they had been typed on the standard keyboard, po wered by a PS/2 conn ectio n. The barcod e
reader can be configured using special barcodes.
Top Level ECG Data Flow and Storage
A general ECG workflow begins with the acquisition of ECG data by the Patient Interface
Module (PIM) from electrodes placed on a patient. Data is streamed real-time to the main
control board, where it is received into the application buffers in RAM. These buffers are used
to present the signal data on the real-time screen. When the user initiates an Auto ECG report
print, presses the Action button on the PIM, or the Snapshot button on the display, or is using
the Timed ECG acquisition, corresponding 10-second segments of the signal data are then
copied to the temporary ECG storage memory in RAM.
These 10-second segments are named ECG reports that can be previewed and printed. In the
case of Auto mode, the ECG report may automatically print without any user intervention. An
ECG report contains signal data, analysis information, patient demographics, and acquisition
information, along with operator and device information. See the PageWriter Touch XML
schema for a complete description of the contents of the ECG data record. The XML schema
is available as a part of the XML utilities and may be downloaded from the Philips InCenter
site. For information on using the InCenter site, see “Using the Philips InCenter Site” on
page 1-30.
If the
Auto Save When Print option is enabled, or the user selects Save button on the Index
screen, the ECG report is saved in the XML format to the internal Main Archive. For software
version C.01.02 and higher, the XML version that ECG data is saved may be specified as
XML version 1.03, or version 1.04. This archive is non-volatile and resides on the internal
CompactFlash (CF) card. Index files with a
From the internal Main Archive, the ECG XML data format files can be copied, deleted,
previewed, printed, and transferred to other devices. The internal Main Archive cann ot receive
ECG XML files from non-Philips external devices. Retrieved ECG file storage is limited to
the internal Remote Archive.
NOTE PageWriter Touch-generated ECG XML files comply with the Philips Medical Systems ECG XML
Schema version. They incorporate an embedded CRC32 value, which is used to ensure the data
integrity of the file.
.cdb extension are also maintained in this archive.

About XML Versions for Software Version C.01.02 and
higher
For software version C.01.02 and higher, the cardiograph can be configured to transmit ECG
data in XML version 1.03 or in version 1.04. The XML version selected is determined by the
software revision level of the TraceMasterVue ECG Management System to which the ECG
data is transferred.
XML version 1.03 is compatible with the TraceMasterVue ECG Management System
software version A.02. This XML version does not support the transmission of ECG data in
any extended 15 or 16-lead format. If a 15 or 16-lead ECG is transferred using this XML
version, the additional ECG data for the right side precordial or posterior leads is deleted, and
the ECG is transferred in standard 12-lead format.
XML version 1.04 is compatible with the TraceMasterVue ECG Management System
software version B.01 or higher. Full ECG data from extended lead 15 or 16-lead ECGs is
transferred to the TraceMasterVue ECG Management System.
NOTEOnly XML version 1.03 is compatible with the Philips 12-Lead XML Utilities. For more information on
the Philips 12-Lead XML Utilities, see “Downloading the XML Utilities and the XML Utility Suite
Instructions for Use” on page 1-30.

Internal Main Archive
The internal Main Archive resides on the internal CompactFlash (CF) card, and is used as the
primary ECG data repository. ECG XML files and related index files are stored here in the
SierraArchiveInternal directory. For software version C.01.02 and higher, the XML files are
stored in the specified XML version 1.03 or 1.04. All stored ECG files transition through this
archive prior to transfer or copying to other devices, such as a PC card, USB memory stick, or
TraceMasterVue.
Currently, the internal Main Archive is limited to a maximum of 150 ECGs when combined
with the internal Remote Archive. The Remote Site Archive contains ECGs downloaded from
a specified TraceMasterVue ECG Management System. For example, 50 ECGs stored in the
internal Main Archive, and 50 ECGs stored in the internal Remote Archive result in a
remaining available storage of 50 ECGs. These can then be saved in either the internal Main or
Remote archives.
Internal Remote Archive
The internal Remote Archive resides on the internal CompactFlash (CF) card in the same
manner as the internal Main Archive. All XML files retrieved from remote sites, such as the
TraceMasterVue ECG Management system, reside in this archive until deleted. ECG XML
files and related index files are stored in the SierraArchiveRemote directory.
Currently, the internal Remote Archive is limited to a maximum of 150 ECGs when combined
with the internal Main Archive. For example, 50 ECGs stored in the internal Main Archive,
and 50 ECGs stored in the internal Remote Archive result in a remaining available storage of
50 ECGs. These can then be saved in either the internal main or Remote Archives.
External PC Card or USB Memory Stick Archives
The external PC card archive or USB memory stick archive resides on compatible PC card
inserted into the PC card slot, or a compatible USB memory stick that is inserted into the USB
connector on the rear panel of the cardiograph. Files may then be transferred to the inserted
media using the Archive mode features of the PageWriter Touch, and are stored in an XML
format. An index file is created and maintained when .cdb files are transferred or copied from
the removable media. Currently, the PC card and USB memory stick are both limited to a
maximum of 150 ECGs.
NOTEWhen you add or delete compatible ECG XML files from either a PC card or USB memory stick (not
using the cardiograph), it is recommended that you delete all .cdb files prior to reinserting into the
cardiograph. In the absence of an index file, the cardiograph automatically regenerates the index based
on the XML files on the PC card, or USB memory stick.
USB Memory Stick
The USB memory stick is an optional accessory that is used to transfer order and ECG data
between the cardiograph and a TraceMasterVue ECG Management System. The USB memory
stick can also be used to save custom settings specified on the cardiograph as a Custom Settings file.

Top Level ECG Data Flow and Storage Theory of Operation
CAUTIONThe PageWriter Touch cardiograph only supports the USB memory stick that is available for purchase
as an optional accessory from Philips Medical Systems. Philips does not guarantee that other USB
memory sticks are compatible with the PageWriter Touch cardiograph.
The USB memory stick can store up to 150 ECGs. Ensure that the USB memory stick is
connected to the USB connector () on the rear of the cardiograph. The USB memory
stick illuminates when it is properly inserted into the cardiograph USB connector.
NOTE The Windows CE operating system refers to the USB memory stick as a hard disk in desktop mode.
External Diskette Archives
The external diskette archives reside on compatible 3.5” HD DOS formatted diskettes that the
user inserts into the PageWriter Touch diskette drive. Files may then be transferred to an
inserted disk using the Archive mode features. Files are then stored in the specified XML
format. An index file is created and maintained on each diskette when
or copied. Currently, an external diskette archive is limited to a maximum of 5 ECGs. The
maximum may be decreased if any file contains noisy or complex signal data, which then
produces larger compressed data.
.cdb files are transferred
NOTE When you add or delete compatible ECG XML files from a diskette (not using the cardiograph), make
sure to delete all .cdb files prior to reinserting the diskette into the diskette drive on the cardiograph.
In the absence of an index file, the cardiograph automatically regenerates the index.
Rendered ECG Report Prints
A rendered ECG report print is a representation of the ECG data. This includes a highresolution print of the signal data, and may include configured patient demographics,
acquisition information, and other non-signal data elements.
The cardiograph allows the user to customize the fields on a printed ECG report. The print
may consist of one or more continuous pages on perforated thermal media from the printer.
PageWriter Touch Cardiograph Service Manual 2-9
Page 56
Theory of OperationTop Level ECG Data Flow and Storage
A fax-rendered ECG report print is equivalent to the rendered ECG report print, as described
in the previous section, except it has been adjusted to comply with fax transmission and
resolution device requirements. The ECG report is rendered and transmitted using the optional
fax and modem PC card when a remote fax site is pre-configured on the cardiograph, and the
user indicates a fax transfer should occur.
The fax-rendered ECG report print may be stored on the received system end as an electronic
file, and may not actually be used to produce a printed copy.
NOTENo guarantee is made as to the suitability of the faxed ECG for any particular purpose, due to the
variability inherent in fax technology.

Power System Overview Theory of Operation
Power System Overview
The cardiograph power system consists of a 65-watt AC/DC medical grade power supply, two
(2) 6.6 Amp-hour lithium ion smart batteries, battery charging circuitry, various voltage
regulators, and logic circuitry to provide for smart battery operation.
The cardiograph is designed to run primarily on battery power, using the AC power for
recharging. However, the cardiograph may operate solely from AC power without batteries.
The power system is a smart system that incorporates the standard System Management Bus
(SMBus). Each battery contains electronics that communicate with the system power
processor reporting the condition of the battery, its charge state, and other parameters. Some
of these parameters can be viewed on the Service Utility screen. A smart switch controls the
switching between the two batteries and the AC power. Recharging the batteries is handled by
an SMBus-compliant charger. A three-channel multiplexer is used to switch the two batteries,
data lines, clk line, and thermistor line. This way, only one battery at a time is active on the
SMBus. Working as a system, the system power processor receives commands from the host
system processor. These commands report the values of the monitored voltages (which reports
the condition of the batteries) to switch between the two, depending on the relative state of
charge (SOC), or to calibrate the batteries. Other power-related functions are controlled
directly by the system power processor. Several functions of the power system are controlled
by the software, either by the host StrongArm processor or the system power processor. These
include:
Switching between batteries, depending on the charge condition.
During power up, reads the battery with the lowest charge, and then recharges it.
Restricting the user from printing when the charge capacity of the batteries reaches preset
levels.
Activating sleep mode if no activity is detected for a preset period of time.
Warning the user of the charge state for the batteries with a battery icon and warning
messages.
Alerting the user when maintenance is needed for the batteries.
Monitoring voltage regulators, and taking the necessary action in the case of a failure.
The major power draws within the cardiograph are the LCD display backlights, which can
draw up to 21 Watts, and the thermal printer which can draw about 48 watts. Provisions have
been incorporated into the cardiograph to allow the user to modify the display brightness. To
extend battery life, set the display brightness to the low or medium setting. Also, enable the
QuickStart or Standby power save features to further extend battery life. The printer control
board is current limited for normal printing, however, if print demand is too high, the current
limiter will not print the output, resulting in a faded page.

Batteries
The two (2) 6.6 Amp-hour lithium ion smart batteries provide the primary means of power to
the cardiograph, and are specifically designed for this purpose. The batteries provide a highcurrent discharge as needed fo r thermal printing. Each battery supplies a continuous 6.0 Amps,
with 6.5A +

SMBus Smart System
The power system in the cardiograph is based on the SMBus smart system. The battery packs
are fully compliant with SMBus and SBDS Revision 1.0, and communicate with the rest of the
power system using this SMBus. A system power processor is used for the power system
controller, which provides several functions to the system. These include:
Monitoring regulator voltage
Enabling and disabling regulator power
Communicating (SMBus) with the charger, batteries, and smart switch
Preprogramming battery shutdown levels
Monitoring the supply location to run the system
Switching between batteries, depending on the charge condition
Monitoring the on and standby switch, and then reporting the status to the host processor
Power Labels
The following represent the various power labels used in the cardiograph.

Battery Discharging
The system power processor and host processor controls the battery switching so the batteries
can be discharged separately. When a battery is discharged to 30%, the system power
processor and host processor switches to the other battery. When both batteries are discharged
to the 30% level, the cardiograph disables high-demand printing, and continues to allow both
batteries to be discharged to a 20% level. When the 20% level is reached on both batteries, the
cardiograph disables printing, and warns the user to plug in the AC power cord. If the AC
power cord is not plugged in within three minutes, the cardiograph automatically enters
Standby mode. A full Reset will be required when the cardiograph is taken out of Standby
mode.
Battery Charging
When the AC power cord is plugged in, the system power processor and host processor
charges each battery separately. When one battery is fully charged (100%), the System Power
Processor and host processor charges the other battery.

When the unit is in operating mode, the charge current is 500mA. When the unit is in sleep
mode, the charge current is dependant on the battery. The in itial charge is approximately 3A,
and then slowly reduced over time.
Current Consumption in QuickStart and Standby Mode
The cardiograph and the batteries consume a sma ll amount of current when the cardiograph is
in QuickStart or Standby mode. The discharge current is approximately 10 milliamps. Remove
the batteries from the cardiograph when the cardiograph will be stored for thirty days or more
without use.
Battery Calibration
The batteries must periodically be calibrated to ensure that the Battery Level Indicator on the
Status Bar is accurate and correctly reports the current battery status. The accurac y of the
battery status information decreases as the batteries undergo multiple charge and discharge
cycles. The user may observe this as a decrease in battery operating time between full charges.
A wrench icon displays on the Status Bar to indicate that the batteries need to be
calibrated. Battery calibration is performed on the Maintenance screen. The cardiograph
cannot be used while the batteries are being calibrated, and the AC power cord must be
plugged into the cardiograph for the entire calibration cycle.

Figure 2-6Battery Level Indicator on the Status Bar with calibration icon
A Battery Level Indicator
Each battery requires up to 12 hours to complete a full calibration cycle. A calibration cycle
consists of two full charges and discharges of the battery. The cardiograph display will dim in
brightness to reduce the time required to fully charge the battery. If calibration is disrupted, the
entire process must be restarted. However, calibration is performed on one battery at a time. If
the first battery is calibrated, the process remembers, and then calibrates only the second
battery. A standalone battery charger with calibration function is available as an optional
accessory from Philips Medical Systems.
Battery Information
Battery information is sent from each battery to the System Power Processor over the SMBus.
This information is then sent up to the host processor, and can be viewed from the Service
Utility screen. See “Battery Info” on page 5-9 for more information.

Battery Maintenance and Care
The cardiograph has two removable lithium ion batteries that supply power to the cardiograph
during mobile use, and provides power to the cardiograph printer when it is plugged into AC
power.
With the batteries fully charged, the cardiograph can print up to fifty Auto ECGs or provide
forty minutes of continuous Rhythm printing.
For optimal battery performance:
Only use Philips Medical Systems lithium ion batteries (Philips part number
989803129131) with the cardiograph.
Fully recharge the batteries before AC or mobile use. Regularly and consistently charging
the batteries will prolong battery life.
Charging the batteries at temperatures above 45
reduce overall battery life.

damage the batteries, and degrade overall cardiograph performance.
If the cardiograph will be stored for more than thirty days without use, turn the AC power
switch to the Off position and remove the batteries. If batteries are left in the cardiograph
for an extended period of time without charging, the batteries will be depleted and will
automatically shut down to avoid damage. The batteries will require a full recharge, and a
battery calibration before they can be used again, see “Calibrating the Batteries” on
page 3-7.
A set of fully charged batteries stored outside of the cardiograph will need to be recharged
every six months. Batteries that are stored outside of the cardiograph for extended periods
of time will not be damaged, but may require a full battery calibration before use.
Charging the Batteries
Charge the batteries whenever the cardiograph is not in use. The batteries will charge when the
cardiograph is in use and is plugged into AC power (with the AC power switch set to the On
position), but the batteries will charge at a slower rate.

Using the System Log Feature
The System Log feature is used to assist with cardiograph troubleshooting. The System Log
continuously records data about the cardiograph including events, errors, battery power levels,
and memory use.
The System Log file stores up to 1MB of information in an individual file. Once the limit of
1MB is reached, the cardiograph begins to record a subsequent log file. The cardio graph saves
two system log files; the current log file and the most recently recorded log file.
System Log files can be saved to a diskette, PC card, or USB memory stick.
NOTESaving System Log files to diskette requires two 1.44 MB diskettes.
For more information on using the System Logs to troubleshoot a specific cardiograph issue,
contact the nearest Response Center. See 1-44 for a complete listing of Response Center phone
numbers.
To save a system log file to a diskette, PC card, or USB memory stick:
