WARNING
z When the alarm sound is switched off, the patient monitor will give no audible
alarm tones even if a new alarm occurs. Therefore the user should be very careful
about whether to switch off the alarm sound or not.
z Do not rely exclusively on the audible alarm system for patient monitoring.
Adjustment of alarm volume to a low level may result in a hazard to the patient.
Always keep the patient under close surveillance.
