Use Demo Mode for training
The Dash 2500 displays all the fictional vital signs values
and waveforms under Demo Mode. It is designed for
training prior to use.

Suspend all monitoring and alarms for TEMP.
Choose temperature displayed in either
degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius.
Choose either predictive or monitor mode.
In monitor mode, choosing this option
causes the currently displayed temperature
value to be trended.
Respiration Rate
Respiration rate using the ECG electrodes is designated
RESP.

Choose whether the impedance RESP will be
derived from Lead I or Lead II.
Adjust or auto-set alarm limits. Select hi

Choose whether or not the impedance RESP
waveform will appear on the screen.
Change the height of the RESP waveform to
one fourth, one half, one, two, four or eight
times the standard height.
NOTE: When Adjust limits option is set to auto-set, RESP value is
reduced each second until the RESP limit alarm is reached.
