Note:
Caregivers may monitor the patient remotely. Reference Using the Nurse Call
Interface , p. 7-14. For institutions allowing caregivers to turn off all audible alarms and
minimize or disable backlight brightness, refrain from reducing both audible and
visual alarms unless using a remote monitoring system. When using a remote
monitoring system, caregivers should still remain vigilant, periodically assessing
patients.
SILENCE ALARM
The factory default setting provides both visual and audible alarms for alarm
conditions. Institutions may choose to temporarily silence audible alarms and
rely on visual alarms. To do so, caregivers may press the SILENCE ALARM icon.
The default duration for SILENCE ALARM is two (2) minutes. To alter this dura-
tion, a qualified service technician must set an alternate institutional default
setting in the Service Mode.
SILENCE ALARM remains available at all times.
•
Not active — If SILENCE ALARM is not active, the SILENCE ALARM icon remains
white on a grey background.
•
Active — If SILENCE ALARM is active, the SILENCE ALARM icon turns yellow on
a grey background and posts the time remaining. A yellow alarm icon above the
alarm limits indicates an active SILENCE ALARM status.
ALARM AUDIO OFF
The factory default setting provides both visual and audible alarms for alarm
conditions. Institutions may choose to turn off audible alarms and rely on visual
alarms. To allow caregivers to turn off audible alarms, a qualified service techni-
cian must alter this alarm system setting in Service Mode.
•
Not active — If Alarm Silence Duration OFF is not active, it does not appear on
the monitoring screen. Instead, the SILENCE ALARM icon remains white on a grey
background.
•

SILENCE ALARM icon. The AUDIO OFF icon is yellow on a grey background. A red
alarm icon above the alarm limits indicates an active ALARM AUDIO OFF status.
