Latching Alarms
The alarm latching setting for your monitor defines how the alarm indicators behave when you do not
acknowledge them. When alarms are set to non-latching, their indicators end when the alarm condition

acknowledge the alarm.
Viewing the Alarm Latching Settings

your unit. There are three possible choices each for visual and audible latching: Red, Red and Yellow,
