6.5 Clearing Alarms
Generally the alarm indications of an alarm will automatically be cleared when the alarm
condition that triggered the alarm ceases. However, you can also clear the alarm indications or
the latched alarms by the following ways.
1. Clearing audible and visual alarm indications
For some technical alarms, the audible and visual alarm indications will be cleared if the monitor
is set to the Alarms Paused status (by pressing the SILENCE key for less than 2 seconds), and the
alarm message will be changed to prompt information during and after the alarms paused time. If
the technical alarm is triggered again after the monitor restores to the normal status, the monitor
will give alarming indications as normal.
Please refer to chapter Alarm Messages and Prompt Information to see for which technical
alarms that the audible and visual indications can be cleared.
2. Clearing all alarm indications
For some technical alarms, if the monitor is set to the Alarms Paused status (by pressing the
SILENCE key for less than 2 seconds), all alarm indications will be cleared during and after the
alarms paused time. If the technical alarm is triggered again after the monitor restores to the
normal status, the monitor gives alarming indications as normal.
Please refer to chapter Alarm Messages and Prompt Information to see for which technical
alarms that all alarm indications can be cleared.
3. Clearing latched alarms
Clearing latched alarms is also referred to as resetting alarms. It refers to clear the latched alarms
by setting the monitor to the Alarms Paused status (by pressing the SILENCE key for less than 2
seconds).
