Choosing Operating Modes
For all Welch Allyn Vital Signs Monitors which are configured with blood pressure and pulse oxime-
try capability, the operator may choose to make either parameter non-functional. Having both blood
pressure and pulse oximetry operational is the default operating mode. To make either mode non-
functional, the user must enter the Monitor’s configuration mode. This may be accomplished by fol-
lowing these instructions:
• Turn the Monitor off.
• Press both the POWER button and the START button simultaneously. The Monitor will enter
it’s internal configuration mode.
• Press the REVIEW button 9 times. “ON” will appear in both the Systolic and SpO

available:
• When the desired functionality is displayed, press the REVIEW button once to save this
selection.
• Turn the Monitor off.
• When the Monitor is turned on, the new functionality setting will be established as the
default level. The Monitor will always revert to this setting on power up.
