3.The decimal dots continue to flash until storage is stopped. Then the dots are displayed continuously to indicate that a trace is stored in memory.

If the barcode Start Storing is scanned and the memory is not empty, the fetal trace stored in the memory is briefly displayed (in minutes). But since the memory already has data stored, the Start Storing command is ignored.

If you want to store a new trace, scan the Clear Memory barcode twice (used to clear a fetal trace stored in memory) and scan the Start Storing barcode.

If the barcode Start Storing is scanned and the storage process is already running, the amount of fetal trace stored (in minutes) is displayed briefly. But since storage is already in operation the Start Storing command is ignored.

To determine the amount of fetal trace (in minutes) stored in the memory:

1.Scan the barcode Display Memory. The fetal trace stored in memory is then briefly displayed (in minutes) and then clears.

Whenever the decimal dots are displayed, the barcode Display Memory can be scanned to determine the amount of trace stored in memory. This will not affect either the storage or the transmission processes.

To halt either fetal trace storage, or the transmission of data:

1.Scan the barcode Stop Storing.

2.If either fetal trace storage, or the transmission of data is in process when the Stop Storing barcode is scanned, the process is halted.

3.The amount of fetal trace stored in memory (in minutes) is briefly displayed.

To transmit stored fetal trace data to the receiver station:

1.Connect the phone line.

2.Scan the barcode Transmit Data (if Transmit Data is scanned while the fetal trace is being stored, the storage of data is halted). The amount of fetal trace stored in the memory is displayed (in minutes) while transmission takes place.

3.Once the modem has made the telephone link with the remote receiver station, the stored fetal trace is transmitted. The amount of fetal trace displayed (in minutes) then counts down until at 0, all the data has been transmitted.

4.If the transmission of the stored trace is successful, a double tone sounds (beep, beep!) in acknowledgment and the display clears.

5.The trace is automatically erased from the fetal monitor after a successful transmission.
