7 Using

The

Menus

Two menus are provided for configuring the Atlas Monitor. The items on these menus are choices that
you might make to configure the Atlas Monitor to your needs when you first place it into service. You may
change the date/time setting for Daylight Savings/Standard time, or when traveling across time zones.
You might change the Advanced Configuration settings when monitoring different patient health issues,
or for different display preferences.

7.1 The Set Date and Time and Other Options Menu


Pressing the

Date/Time

button on the bottom right of the monitor will access a menu from which you can

manage several settings. The Time and Date can be set using the

Select

and

Set

buttons. The Other

Options menu provides a list of buttons that have special functions.

Setting Date and Time - You will need to set the
Date and Time when:
• First unpacking and installing the monitor.

• Adjusting to different time zones.

• Starting or ending Daylight Savings Time.


To set the Date and Time:
• Press the

Date/Time

button (labeled with a

clock icon) to get to the Set Date and Time
menu.

• Use either

Select

button to sequentially

highlight the day, month, year, hours, minutes
and seconds.

• Use either

Set

button to scroll through the

values for each setting.

• Stop pressing the

Set

button when the correct

value is shown.

• Use either

Select

button sequentially to

highlight the next item you want to set, and
repeat.

• Press the

Date/Time

button again to return to

the waveform screen when the date and time
are correct.


The monitor now has the correct Time and Date,
and the monitor’s internal battery will retain these
settings, even after turning off the power and
unplugging the monitor.
