Reason for review / Writer’s comments:
Here is the updated ZOOM LATITUDE operator’s manual (US). The only changes since the last draft are as follows:
•Pages 20: Moved paragraph and caution back to here; should not have moved with standards (Tech Comm).
•Page 22: Added clarifying text to “printing stops” issue (Rick Stein, Engineering, and SCR 7048).
•Page 34–35: Made title more generic, deleted introductory sentence since it is repeated below but with qualifiers,
added subheads for each standard, moved notes up to the EMC section, deleted sections that belong elsewhere
(paragraph and caution on page 20 and notes in EMC section), and changed FCC to subhead so it now falls under
the Compliance Standards section (Tech Comm). Also, changed “applicable EMC standards” to “applicable por-
tions of the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards” for clarity (Rick Stein, Engineering); had to write out
“EMC” because this is now first use of the acronym (Tech Comm).

refer to the System Guide for the Guidant pulse generator being
interrogated.
Changing Parameter Values
The screens for many of the features contain parameter information,
including parameter names, values for the present parameter settings,
value boxes to accommodate value changes, and buttons to cancel
changes. Many screens display two columns next to the parameter
names: the Present column and the Change column. The Present column
displays the currently programmed value for each parameter, and the
Change column displays value boxes that allow the clinician to make
changes to the parameters. If a particular parameter is not applicable in
the current mode, dashes will be displayed in the Present column. If a
particular parameter is not applicable to the mode in the Change column,
that parameter’s value box is not displayed.
Palette Window: To change the parameter values, first select the
appropriate parameter’s value box in the Change column. A palette
window will appear (as shown in Figure 8). Select a value from the palette
window (by touching the desired value and lifting the stylus from the
screen). Touching the screen outside a window will close it without
making a selection. When changes have been made to parameter values,
the data appear in the Change box until programmed into the pulse
generator.
In some screens (e.g., Patient Data screens), data are not displayed in
Present and Change columns. These screens display value boxes that

require unique data to be entered. Typically, the data are entered from a
keyboard window (as shown in Figure 8). The values entered will remain
in the value boxes when programmed; they will not move from a Change
column to a Present column.
Keyboard Window: Touch the first character of the new value; it will
appear in the data-entry box in the graphic keyboard. Continue until the
entire new entry appears in the box. To delete one character at a time,
starting with the last character, select the left arrow key on the graphic
keyboard. Each time the left arrow key is selected, a character will be
deleted in the box. To cancel any deletions or additions just made, select
the Cancel Changes button. When all the appropriate characters have
been selected, select the Close button on the graphic keyboard.
NOTE: If, when the graphic keyboard initially appears, it contains data in
the value box, select the Clear button to delete all the characters in the
value box.
Copy button: On screens that contain a Copy button, you can simply
copy parameter values from one screen to another. Select the Copy
button. A window will appear with a Copy From column and a Copy To
column, with buttons below the columns. Select the desired buttons in
both columns, and then select the Copy button.
To program the device, follow the instructions in the System Guide for the
Guidant pulse generator being interrogated.
NOTE: If additional parameters require reprogramming, repeat these
steps. Multiple parameter changes can be programmed at one time
(batch programming).
MAINTENANCE AND HANDLING
Loading the Paper
The internal printer/recorder uses four-inch wide (110 mm)
thermosensitive printing paper. Model 6979 Printer Paper refills can be
ordered from Guidant.
Use the following procedure to load paper into the internal printer/
recorder:
1. Open the printer door.
2. If any sheets from the previous pack remain but did not feed, remove
them and rotate the roller with clean fingertips to remove any small
pieces of paper still under the printhead.
3. If the paper is still enclosed in its original plastic packaging, remove
this covering from the pack.
4. Orient the pack such that the pagination mark (which is the small
black box that is visible inside the pack if you lift up the top sheet of
paper) is located nearest to the front of the programmer. (For a visual
17
of how to orient the paper, refer to the paper liner inside the PRM.)
Insert the pack into the printer/recorder.
NOTE: You must use paper with pagination markings. Paper will not
paginate properly if paper does not have markings.
5. Unfold one sheet of paper, and allow the unfolded sheet to lie flat
across the well of the stylus.
6. Close the printer door completely. The printer/recorder will
automatically begin the paper-loading sequence and will stop at the
first pagination mark after paper is detected. If the paper’s edges are
wrinkled, wait for four or five pages to feed through the printer. The
printer will self-align the paper to its proper position.
The printer/recorder is now ready to resume printing.
For information regarding loading paper into the optional external printer,
refer to the user manual for the printer.
Thermal Paper Storage
Store the heat-sensitive paper for the internal printer/recorder in a cool,
dark environment. Do not attempt to erase the printer/recorder paper.
Printed paper will last approximately 30 days under direct fluorescent
light. To ensure the permanence of a patient’s record, store the printed
paper away from direct sunlight, heat, or fumes from organic
compounds. Storage temperatures above 149°F (65°C), sustained
exposure to direct sunlight, or exposure to high humidity, acetone,
ammonia, alcohols, or other organic compounds may cause the paper to
discolor.
NOTES:
• If printed reports are to be kept for prolonged periods, you must
make a photocopy of the thermosensitive paper as this paper is not
intended for long-term retention and will lose legibility over time.
• Some brands of adhesive tape applied to a printed report will fade
the printing after 30 days.
Cleaning the PRM
Clean the housing and touchscreen of the PRM with a soft cloth lightly
dampened with water.
Clean the printer/recorder with a dry, soft brush to eliminate dust and
particles that may accumulate during printing and storage.
CAUTION: Do not use an abrasive cloth or volatile solvents to clean any
portion of the PRM.
The cables used with the PRM are not sterile when packaged. When
necessary, clean the cables with a soft cloth dampened with a mild
cleaning solution (e.g., Liqui-nox for the sterilizable telemetry wand;
Borax or a 1:10 bleach solution for other cables). Using the same method,
18
wipe them completely with sterile water and towel- or air-dry. DO NOT
use an ultrasonic cleaner NOR immerse the cables. Clean the
sterilizable telemetry wand in the same manner, allowing no fluids to
enter the wand cavity. See “Prepare the Telemetry Wand” on page 4
for sterilization instructions.
Patient Data Disk
The Model 6627 Patient Data Disk must be inserted with the arrow on the
top left side and pointing into the disk drive (Figure 9).
Be certain that the write-protect tab is closed on the disk (Figure 10).
Insert a patient data disk firmly into the disk drive on the right side of the
PRM until the disk ejection button protrudes.
NOTE: For complete instructions on using the patient data disk, refer to
the System Guide for the Guidant pulse generator being interrogated.
Caring for Disks
Floppy disks can be damaged easily, making them unusable. To prevent
damage to the disks:
• Write on labels before applying them to disks.
• Use only a felt-tipped pen to write on a label that is already applied to
a disk.
• Keep food and beverages away from disks and away from the PRM.

• Keep disks away from heat or direct sunlight. Disks should be stored
at temperatures between 5°C and 60°C (41°F and 140°F).
• Keep disks dry and stored in a dry area (with a relative humidity
between 8 percent and 80 percent).
• Do not bend disks.
• Do not attach paper clips, staples, or rubber bands to disks.
• Do not try to open the sliding shutter that covers the disks (Figure 10).
• Never touch the exposed disk area beneath the sliding shutter.
NOTE: The write-protect tab must be closed in order to record data to the
disk and to print reports. If data cannot be recorded to the disk, check to
see that the tab is positioned to cover the hole (Figure 10).
CAUTION: Keep disks away from magnets and magnetized objects,
including telephones, power supply adapters, and monitors.
Operation and Storage Conditions
The Model 3120 PRM requires careful handling. The hard-disk drive and
the floppy-disk drive must be protected from abusive handling. To protect
the PRM from damage:
• Do not turn off the PRM while the drive is accessing data.
• Do not subject the PRM to abusive shocks or vibrations.
• When transporting the PRM from a cold environment to a warm
environment, allow the PRM to warm to ambient temperature before

manufacturer and d is the
recommended separation distance in
meters (m).
Field strengths from fixed RF
transmitters, as determined by an
electromagnetic site survey,d should
be less than the compliance level in
each frequency range.e
Interference may occur in the vicinity
of equipment marked with the
following symbol:
d. Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless)
telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast, and TV
broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic
environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be
considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the Model 3120 PRM is
used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Model 3120 PRM should be
observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional
measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the Model 3120 PRM.
e. Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

a. The Model 3120 PRM is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which
radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the Model 3120 PRM
can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between
portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the Model 3120 PRM
as recommended above, according to the maximum output power of the communications
equipment.
b. For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended
separation distance d in meters (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the
frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter
in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
c. At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
