Network test
Observe the screen and confirm that the network connection symbol appears (indicating
that the monitor is communicating with the network).
If the network connection is not yet established, wait a short time (60 seconds or less)
and confirm that the connection symbol appears.
Wireless to Acuity Central Communication
To confirm proper communication between the monitor and the Acuity system:
In an area of RF coverage, perform the following test on each monitor:
1. Insert a newly charged battery into the battery compartment of the monitor. A power-
up screen appears and is soon replaced by a blank monitoring screen.
2. If the network is configured to allow multiple Acuity systems to view the monitor,
select the system from the unit list that will be the primary link in the test.
If this is a single system, or if the monitor is configured to communicate only with a
specific Acuity system, select a patient from the patient list.
3. On Acuity, verify that the Monitor Connecting icon (a blue hourglass) appears in the
Wireless area on the Acuity Central Monitor Map (in the Map View). Wait for the
Monitor Connecting icon to change to an Unconfirmed Patient ID icon.
4. Verify that the proper last four digits of the monitor serial number appear as the Room
Number in the Waveform window and ID screen.
