The following procedures are discussed in this chapter.

Set time and date

NOTE
When a patient monitor is first connected to the optional
CARESCAPE Network, the time and date is automatically updated
from the network time.
WARNING
Loss of patient data history. Changing the time or date
settings may result in the loss of patient data history. If
one patient monitor's time or date is changed, all patient
monitors on the network "listen" and follow suit within 3-
5 seconds. Changing the time base of one patient monitor
may cause some loss of patient data history for all the
patient monitors on the network.
