suspend the alarm for 120 seconds.

ALARM SILENCED INDICATOR
The Alarm Silenced Indicator provides visual feedback regarding the audible alarm status.
The audible alarms are muted when the indicator is flashing or continuously illuminated.
While monitoring a patient, acknowledging an alarm condition by pressing the Alarm
Silence Button (one time) will silence the alarm tone for 120 seconds and the Alarm
Silenced Indicator will flash. Pressing the Alarm Silence Button a second time (while the
Alarm Silenced Indicator is still flashing) will activate alarms and the alarm silence indicator
will be off.
If the alarms have been silenced, per Setup Menu Level 1, then the Alarm Silence indicator
will be continuously illuminated. The Alarm Silence indicator will remain illuminated until
after a power cycle or until the alarms are enabled (see Section 4, Setup Menu).
While not monitoring a patient, acknowledging an alarm condition by pressing the Alarm
Silence Button (one or more times) will permanently silence the alarm tone, and the Alarm
Silenced Indicator will remain illuminated until the power is cycled or patient monitoring
begins.
Should the alarm condition be created by low batteries, replace the batteries before
monitoring begins or continues.
