2-7-3-1 TM-2420/TM-2421 Setup

With the monitor and the processor connected to the computer, you may setup or change the following monitor condition and interval settings:

Item	Definition
Recorder ID number	Monitor (or patient) ID number (01 through 99). This is useful
	when more than one monitor is used in the same clinical setting.
Time	Sets monitor’s internal clock.
Date	Sets monitor’s internal calendar.
Display On/Off	Turns the monitor display on or off during automatic
	measurement session. It may not be desirable for the patient to
	see the measurement results. Some patients become nervous
	when they see the measurement results. This may affect their
	blood pressure readings.
Buzzer On/Off	Sets whether or not the monitor will beep 10 seconds prior to the
	start of a measurement.
PERIOD	A 24-hour day may be broken up into 4 periods. For a more
	detailed explanation, see monitor’s instruction manual.
START	The Time of the first (1) period is the start and end time of the
	monitoring session.
	Note: When only the Time of the first (1) period is set, the
	monitoring session is performed at the same interval for
	24 hours.
	The Time of the second (2) period, if set, is the start of the
	second period and end of the first. The Time of the third (3)
	period, if set, is the start of the third period and end of the
	second. The Time of the fourth (4) period, if set, is the start of
	the fourth period and end of the third.
	Note: You do not need to program all periods.
INTERVAL	The Interval is the number of minutes between each
	measurement within the specific period.

The Setup sub-menu may be used to program the monitor’s intervals and conditions. The monitor is programmed in 24-hour segments, with the End Time for the last Period defaulting to the Period One

(1)Time that is both the Start and End Time for the monitoring session. Please also note that the Periods must be defined consecutively, i.e. set Period 1 then Period 2, then Period 3, not Period 1 then Period 3. To program the monitor, follow the steps below:

Note: The monitor, processor and cable must be connected to the computer correctly, see “2-2 Communication Between the Monitor and the Software”.

Step 1 Select the Recorder menu.

Step 2 Select the Setup sub-menu. The Recorder Setup dialog box appears.
