If your monitor includes a printer, load the paper by following the instructions in Chapter 9,
Recording and Printing Results.

Connect the bar code scanner interface cable to the back of the VS1 monitor on the
I/O connector. Secure the cable in place by tightening the top and bottom retaining screws
in the connector.
Attach the scanner's mounting arm to the roll stand just below the unit so that the scanner is
held to one side of the unit. Tighten the arm's mount by tightening the two allen bolts with
the appropriate wrench.
Attach the enclosed "Scanner Reset" label to the scanner's mounting arm for easy access
when needed. This label is used to reset the scanner when it appears the scanner is no longer
reading the patient's bar code correctly.

Press the Power ON/OFF button on the lower left corner of the front panel of the monitor.
Powering Up and Down
After you press the Power On/Off button, the Power On LED turns green, and the unit then initializes and
performs a self-test. During this process, 888 appears in all of the LED displays. As each parameter is
initialized, the displays change from 888 to --- and the Line List display (the Main screen) appears on the
LCD screen. After this verification is complete for all parameters (about 10 seconds), the monitor is ready
for use.
To turn the monitor off, press and hold the button for at least three seconds. A beep tone will sound at one-
second intervals until the unit turns off (in approximately 3 seconds).
Sleep Mode
If the monitor is on, but it is not used for five minutes, it enters Sleep mode. Sleep mode can also be entered
by briefly pressing the Power On/Off button. In Sleep mode, all parameters are suspended, which decreases
power discharge when the monitor is running on battery and decreases battery charging when the monitor is
plugged in to an AC power supply.
Push any button to power up the unit. The initialization process begins and the parameters will become
active in approximately 10 seconds.
Sleep mode is the default setting. If the monitor will normally be on AC power, it can be set to bypass S
leep mode. Contact your biomed to change this setting.
Recharging the Battery
The VS1 is shipped with a fully charged battery. The battery recharges automatically any time the power
cord is plugged into an AC power source. Recharging from a fully drained battery to a fully charged battery
can take up to four hours.
