Calibrating the Barcode Reader
The optional barcode reader is shipped with configured settings that provide optimal use with 
the cardiograph. If the barcode reader operates with errors or missed data, follow the 
procedure below.
If the barcode reader incorrectly scans data into fields on the Patient ID screen, follow the 
procedure “Removing the Carriage Return” on page 3-13. 
The barcodes must be scanned in order from top to bottom in one session. 
To calibrate the barcode reader:
1
Hold the barcode reader at a 45o angle and push the button (top of scanner). Scan the 
barcode labeled 1 in Figure 3-2. Three beeps are heard.
2Scan the barcodes labeled 2-8 in Figure 3-2. A single beep is heard after each barcode is 
scanned.
3After barcode 8 is scanned three beeps are heard. Calibration is complete.
Perform the Barcode Test (see page 4-2) to verify performance.

Maintenance Tests for Trim II, III and Rx
Use the diagnostic utilities and maintenance tests to verify or to optimize cardiograph 
performance. The following tests can be executed during active normal cardiograph use, and 
may be helpful in identifying a technical problem. 
For information on maintenance tests that are available through the Biomed Service Utility, 
see “About the Trim II/III/Rx Biomed Service Utility” on page 4-6. Using the Biomed Service 
Utility requires a full restart of the cardiograph. 
For further assistance with any of the maintenance tests described in this section, contact the 
nearest Philips Response Center. See Contacting a Philips Response Center on page 1-32.
To open the Diagnostics/Maintenance Test screen:
1
Press the Ta b key ( ) or turn the Trim Knob to highlight the Config button on the

Patient Interface Module (PIM) Test
This test is used to confirm that the Patient Interface Module (PIM) is communicating with the 
cardiograph. This test can be performed when the cardiograph displays PIM error messages, or 
when the cardiograph is unable to acquire data from the PIM. Be sure that the PIM patient data 
cable is securely attached to the PIM connector on the rear of the cardiograph before 
performing the test. 
If this test fails, it may indicate a problem with the PIM or with the PIM patient data cable.
To perform the PIM Test:
1
Press the Ta b key ( ) or turn the Trim Knob to highlight the PIM Test button under 
Diagnostics. 
2Press the space bar or the Trim Knob to select the button. The message Accessing PIM... 
appears. The PIM Test Result window appears and indicates that the PIM Test has passed, 
or that the cardiograph is unable to communicate with the PIM. 
3If the message PIM Test Passed appears, the PIM is communicating properly with the 
cardiograph. The 
OK button is highlighted. Push the Trim Knob to close the window. 
4If the message Please Check the Patient Interface Module appears, check that the PIM 
patient data cable is securely attached to the PIM connector on the rear of the cardiograph. 
If the error message persists, contact Philips Medical Systems for assistance, see 
“Contacting a Philips Response Center” on page 1-32.
Barcode Reader Test
NOTEYou must attach the barcode reader to the port on the rear of the cardiograph before powering on 
the cardiograph.
The Barcode Reader Test is used with the optional barcode reader. This test can be used to 
confirm that the barcode reader is accurately scanning barcode data. Ensure that the barcode 
reader is securely attached to the barcode reader port on the rear of the cardiograph before 
performing the test.
To perform the barcode reader test:
1
Press the Ta b key ( ) or turn the Trim Knob to highlight the Barcode Test button 
under 
Diagnostics. 
2Press the space bar or the Trim Knob to select the button. The Barcode Reader test 
window appears. 
3Hold the barcode reader at a 45o angle and scan a test barcode.
4The barcode data appears next to the Patient ID field. Review the barcode data to ensure 
that it is accurate. The 
OK button is highlighted. If the barcode data is accurate, press the 
space bar or the Trim Knob to select the 
OK button. Turn the Trim Knob to highlight the 
Cancel button if the barcode data is incorrect. 
5If the test fails, perform a barcode reader calibration and try the test again. See 
Calibrating the Barcode Reader on page 3-11.

Trim II/III/Rx Diagnostic and Performance Verification 
Tests
More comprehensive diagnostic tests and operating statistics are provided in the Biomed 
Service Utility. These tests and utilities are used to identify and to troubleshoot a technical 
problem with the cardiograph. 
CAUTIONEnsure that the AC power cord is plugged into the rear of the cardiograph and into a grounded 
electrical outlet before using the Biomed Service Utility. If the cardiograph is powered by battery 
power only while using the Biomed Service Utility, the battery will fail and will not recover.
About the Trim II/III/Rx Biomed Service Utility
