the device attempts to shift automatically to the Continuous
Monitoring profile when you connect the sensor cable.

3. Touch the Movement vertical tab.

Note If any parameter's alarm limit control is set to OFF, you
cannot adjust alarm limits on the Alarm tab, and no visual or
audio signals occur for that specific parameter.
5. Adjust the following settings as desired:
•
Exit sensitivity
. Use the up/down arrow keys or the keypad to choose a
sensitivity level ranging from 1 to 6. Setting 1 is the least sensitive, and setting 6
is the most sensitive.
Note
Levels 5 and 6 are highly sensitive and might trigger an
alarm as a result of minimal movement while the patient
is in bed. Correct patient assessment is the key to
minimize false alerts.
• Turn reminder . Select the desired turn schedule from the list box.
6. Touch the Home tab.
The new alarm settings take effect immediately.
