2031504-159D MAC™ 800 3-21
Battery Capacity
Q: What is the capacity of the battery?
A: We recommend that the MAC 800 be connected to AC power through
a wall outlet whenever it is not in use. However, if operating the device
without AC power, be aware that a fully-charged battery is capable of
printing approximately 1000 single page reports or 2 hours of continuous
operation (without printing).
MAC Address
Q: I need to provide the MAC address of the device to the network
administrator to enable the LAN communication option. How do I obtain
the MAC address?
A: Follow these steps to obtain the MAC address:
1. Open the Diagnostic Tests window as described in “Accessing the
System Diagnostics Function” on page 3-6.
2. Move the focus to the Service Report button and press the Enter key
to select.
3. Find the MAC address on the printed service report.
Calibration
Q: How do I calibrate the MAC 800 system?
A: When it becomes necessary, you can calibrate the MAC 800 system
using the following method:
1. Using a standardizing waveform generator, produce a 1.00 ± 0.01
-mV pulse signal with a rise-time no greater than 5ms and a width
no greater than 100ms.
2. Connect the pulse signal to all available channels and set the gain to
10 mm/mV.
3. Verify the display pulses have an amplitude within ± 5% of the
amplitude obtained when the 1.00 ± 0.01 -mV signal is applied.
4. Repeat the test for all fixed gain settings to verify the
standardization pulse correctly reflects the gain setting.
NOTE
The error must be less than ±5% of the expected value or 0.5mm,
whichever is greater.
5. Verify that the standardization signal appears on all channels.
