Reviewing and Setting Volume and Alarm Limits
Reviewing and Setting Volume and
Alarm Limits
NOTE:
Alarm limits reset themselves to default values each time the unit is
powered up—unless the unit is in Patient Security mode. In Patient Security
mode, alarm limits and volumes cannot be adjusted; they can only be viewed.
Reviewing, Setting, or Changing Volumes and
Alarm Limits
1. Ensure that the device is on.
2. Press the Limits button until the limit you want to view or change is
displayed.
• The current limit appears in the %SpO
2
display.
• The current setting appears in the pulse rate display.
• Continue to press the Limits button until the limit you want to
change is displayed.
3. To change the displayed value, press the Plus (+) or Minus (-) buttons
as desired.
4. Continue to press the Limits button until the unit returns to normal
operation.
Silencing Alarms
Press the Alarm Silence button to silence alarms for two minutes. The
Alarm Silence LED blinks at the medium priority alarm rate while alarms
are temporarily silenced. If alarms are silenced during active alarm
conditions, the Alarm Silence LED blinks in time with the alarm bar.
The Alarm Silence LED will be lit solidly when the alarm volume is set to
less than 45 dB.
Audible indicators can be turned off in the Limits menu,
by selecting “
Off
” in the corresponding Alarm Volume menu option.
WARNING:
To comply with relevant product safety standards, ensure that
all alarm volumes are set appropriately and are audible in all situations. Do
not cover or otherwise hinder any speaker openings.
CAUTION:
Review all limits to ensure they are appropriate for the patient.
