Start-Up and Use
(If the button is pressed for more than 3 seconds or the duration is
changed, the Alarm Silence Button must be pressed again to start
the alarm silence duration.)
Subsequently, if any alarm condition (other than a low battery
alarm) occurs while the alarm is silenced, the alarm will not
sound until the alarm silence duration is ended. Operating on
battery power during a low battery alarm condition will cause an
alarm to sound, even if the duration time has not elapsed.
If the Alarm Silence Button is pressed during the alarm silence
duration, the alarm silence duration is ended and the audible
alarms are re-enabled.
Visual indications of an alarm condition cannot be turned off.
For example, if the %SpO
2 upper alarm limit is exceeded, the
alarm can be silenced for the alarm silence duration, but the
%SpO
2 value will continue to flash.
If the alarm condition is still present when the alarm silence
duration has elapsed, the alarm will sound.
WARNING: Do not silence an audible alarm or decrease its
volume if patient safety could be compromised.
Disabling Audible Alarms
Setting the alarm silence duration to OFF means that no audible
alarms will be produced by the monitor.
To set the alarm silence duration to OFF, press and hold the
Alarm Silence Button for less than 3 seconds and use the Adjust
Up Button to increase the current setting until “OFF” is
displayed. The next time the Alarm Silence Button is pressed, the
Alarm Silence Indicator flashes, indicating that audible alarms
have been disabled. If the Alarm Silence Button is pressed again,
the Alarm Silence Indicator stops flashing.
Visual indications of an alarm condition are not affected by
disabling the audible alarms.
The ability to set the alarm silence duration to OFF can be
enabled or disabled by qualified service personnel as described in
the service manual.
