You can turn on the <strong>Dash</strong> <strong>2500</strong> <strong>Patient</strong> <strong>Monitor</strong> by pushing either the Power<br />
button or the Trim Knob when it is plugged into AC power. If the <strong>Monitor</strong> is using<br />
battery power, it can be turned on only by the Power button on the front of the<br />
unit. Once the <strong>Monitor</strong> is turned on, the name of each parameter in the <strong>Monitor</strong><br />
appears as an option under the Setup parameters option in the Main Menu.<br />
When each parameter is ready to begin monitoring, a dedicated portion of the<br />
screen is labeled with the parameter name.<br />
On power-up, the <strong>Monitor</strong> performs the following steps in the order listed:<br />
� At initial power up, the fail safe alarm sounds briefly.<br />

Technologies logo.<br />
� The <strong>Monitor</strong> performs a self-test — the screen displays the model and<br />
revision number of the <strong>Monitor</strong> — and a start-up tone sounds.<br />
� The main waveform screen appears.<br />
When all the above steps are performed, it indicates that the <strong>Monitor</strong> is ready for<br />
use.<br />
