Audible Alarm Silencing
Audible alarms may be silenced in three ways. To manually re-enable the alarms, press the alarm silence key (
B
)
on the front of the monitor.
An audible alarm may be temporarily silenced for two minutes. To temporarily silence an alarm, press the alarm
silence key (
B
). AUDIO PAUSED will be displayed on the upper right side of the display. The audible alarm
will be re-enabled if any new alarm condition occurs, or in two minutes if no new alarm condition occurs. To
manually re-enable the audible alarm, press the alarm silence key (
B
) again.
Audible alarms may be indefinitely silenced. Press and hold the alarm silence key (
B
) for about three seconds,
until AUDIO PAUSED is displayed on the upper right side of the display. If any new alarm condition occurs while
audible alarms are indefinitely silenced, the audible alarm will be re-enabled.
Audible alarms may be permanently silenced. Press and hold the alarm silence key (
B
) for about six seconds,
until AUDIO OFF is displayed on the upper right side of the display. The audible alarm will not be re-enabled if
a new alarm condition occurs. This condition is possible only if dual alarm silence is allowed and indefinite is
enabled.
