WARNING Before you use a Propaq CS monitor on a new patient, always turn it
off for a few seconds and then turn it on again. This clears the prior patient’s trend

the Time/Day window: Home, SETUP, MORE, MORE). If the battery
voltage is 7.4V or less or a low battery message is displayed, connect
the monitor to an ac power adapter to recharge the battery (page 20).
Connecting the adapter does not interrupt patient monitoring.
