5. At Wave-Viewer, Select: Change Frequency

6. At Wave-Viewer, Enter the new frequency and check code.

7. At Wave-Viewer, Verify the new configuration of the transmitter.. if

applicable. (Ie… Sp02 configuration, etc..)

At this time, you must learn the new transmitter’s OSCAR ID via the PIC through the following menus.

From PIC in Standard Display (Main Screen) Select:

1. Select: Patient window
2. Select: All Controls
3. Select: Unit Settings
4. Under Bedside Unit Settings, Select: Telemetry Freq and password: m3150
