Audible Alarm Silencing
Audible alarms may be silenced in three ways. To manually re-enable the alarms, press the alarm silence key (

)
on the front of the monitor.
An audible alarm may be temporarily silenced for two minutes. To temporarily silence an alarm, press the alarm
silence key (
B
). AUDIO PAUSED will be displayed on the upper right side of the display. The audible alarm
will be re-enabled if any new alarm condition occurs, or in two minutes if no new alarm condition occurs. To
manually re-enable the audible alarm, press the alarm silence key (
B
) again.
Audible alarms may be indenitely silenced. Press and hold the alarm silence key (
B
) for about three seconds,
until AUDIO PAUSED is displayed on the upper right side of the display. If any new alarm condition occurs while
audible alarms are indenitely silenced, the audible alarm will be re-enabled.
Audible alarms may be permanently silenced. Press and hold the alarm silence key (
B
) for about six seconds,
until AUDIO OFF is displayed on the upper right side of the display. The audible alarm will not be re-enabled if
a new alarm condition occurs. This condition is possible only if dual alarm silence is allowed and indenite is
enabled.
