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 “
0FF
” 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 obstruct any speaker openings.
CAUTION:
Review all limits to ensure they are appropriate for the patient.
