turned on and saved as a Monitor Default. Refer to Monitor Setup
chapter.
NOTE: The nurse call system connected to the Aux port on the back of the
monitor is activated when a patient status alarm occurs. The
alarm level that activates the alarm is determined by the Remote

CRISIS (default)—only CRISIS alarms activate the nurse call
