Stopping the Recording Processa) To stop recording after 24 or 48 hours, or sooner if desired, remove the batteries completelyWarning: DO NOT RE-INSERT BATTERIES after removal as this will erase the ECG data on the Flash memory card b) Remove the flash memory card and patient electrodes. If it is desirable to remove the leads from the patient input connector, then, due to their snugness of fit in this connector, it is suggested that the medical technician carefully grip these leads only at the base whenever removing them. NEVER pull on the wire itself as this can easily break the wire inside the insulation causing a noisy and intermittent ECG recording |
