Spectra Alerts: Alert Indications
Alert Indications
Active Alerts
When the system detects an alert condition, visual and audible indications are
provided. (There is no printed indication of the alert.) The alert level, indicated by
asterisks, flashes and displays in inverse video between the FHR1 and FHR2 areas;
in addition, the associated FHR numerics flash. The audio indication is a pattern of
beeps representing the alert level:
Level 1: Beep___Beep___Beep___ . . .
Level 2: BeepBeep___BeepBeep___BeepBeep___ . . .
Level 3: BeepBeepBeep___BeepBeepBeep___BeepBeepBeep___ . . .
“Beep” represents audio tone sets and “___” is the pause between sets.
The following figure provides an example of an active alert—level one
decelerations.

Silencing Alerts
Press the Alarm Silence button to cancel the audio. The alert level stops flashing and
displays in normal video; however, the associated FHR numerics continue to flash.
For an active, silenced alert, the visual indications remain present until the condition
is resolved or the alert is reset. (Refer to “Resetting Alerts” on page C-12.)
