Audible Alarm Silence

during this time. The factory default of audible alarm silence period is 120 seconds.
To silence an audible alarm:

after the audible alarm silence period if the alarm condition has not been corrected.
2. Check the patient and provide appropriate care.
During the audible alarm silence period, you can press
Alarm silence button
again to re-
enable the audible alarm tones. Also, if another alarm occurs during the audible alarm
silence period, the audible alarm tones will be automatically re-enabled.
