In configuration mode, you can set the minimum alarm volume. The minimum alarm
volume refers to the minimum value you can set for the alarm volume.
When the alarm volume is set to 0, the monitor stays in alarm sound off status and a
symbol appears on the screen.
The alarm sound off status is cancelled and the alarm volume returns to the factory default
value automatically when:
 The monitor shuts down and then restarts.
 The monitor changes to other alarm status, such as alarms paused status or alarms off
status.
 The alarm volume restores the default value after the monitor reloads the
configuration.
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.
