7. Plug the ECG cable into the ECG connector on the monitor's left side panel.
8. Support the ECG cable so it does not stress the electrode wires, ECG cable
connectors, or electrodes.
9. If an electrosurgical unit will be used, place the ECG cable and electrode wires as far
as possible from the surgical site and from the electrosurgical return electrode and its
cables. This minimizes interference.
Although the ECG channel contains electrosurgical interference suppression (ESIS)
circuitry, noise artifact may be displayed on the ECG trace while an electrosurgical
device is in use. Choose electrode placement to minimize interference.
10. Look for an ECG waveform and heart rate on the monitor. Depending on how your
monitor is programmed, a beep tone may occur with each detected QRS.
If there is no waveform, check the electrodes, wires, cable, and the monitor for a
possible misconnection or lead fault.
11. To set up the ECG/RESP display, from the Main Menu press ECG/RESP to display the
first ECG/RESP menu:
12. Press buttons as desired to adjust the display:

ECG2 lead
The ECG2 lead is always V, except when
the ECG1 lead is V (in that case the
ECG2 lead is II).
