Reset alarm:

The alarm resets whenever a button is pressed. The
monitor returns to the status it was before the alarm
occurred.
When the cause of the alarm has not been eliminated,
the monitor continues to display the alarm message (not
blinking). When you have eliminated the cause of the
alarm the alarm message disappears.

When no button is pressed during an alarm the monitor
automatically resets the alarm after max. 15 minutes. The
Quad monitor returns to the status it was before the
alarm occurred. The blinking alarm message is displayed
until a button is pressed. When a button is pressed, there
are two possibilities:

1

The cause of the alarm has not been eliminated; the
monitor continues to display the alarm message (not
blinking).

2

The cause of the alarm is eliminated; the alarm message
disappears.

Remark:

When a cable shortage alarm is reset the alarm

message will not disappear from the monitor screen. To remove
the message, first switch the monitor OFF, repair the cable
shortage and then switch the monitor ON again.

Trouble shooting

the same setting of the CAMERA # and box number
switches, it shows the following error message:

When a button is pressed, the message will disappear
from the monitor screen.

No valid camera input selection

The camera number of an intercom box or
Alarm/Action box cannot be set to a camera input to

detects an invalid camera input selection, it shows the
following message:
