The monitor then presents a series of menus and messages requesting you to
provide information about the connection and patient. The actual screens presented
depend on how the Acuity System is configured.

monitor operating settings are reset to the Acuity System default power-up
settings.)

If you do not select the patient name or room while connecting the patient, you will
need to do that later at the Acuity Central Station. See “Monitor patient at Acuity” on
page 41 for more information.
