ON to enable the alarm; choose OFF to disable the alarm. If the 
alarm is set to OFF, the alarm OFF symbol   will display to the right 
of ECG on the screen. The HR alarm is activated when the heart rate 
is equal to or exceeds set high or low HR values.
ALM PRIORITY Allows the user to select the priority of the ECG alarm. Choices are 1, 
2 and 3. Priority 1 alarms are considered the most serious.
ALM PRINT Enables or disables automatic printing during a HR alarm condition.

SOURCE Determines the source of heart rate. An audible tone is generated 
when a heart beat is detected from the selected source. The selections 
are ECG, SpO2 and AUTO.
NOTE: When heart rate is being measured, a 
heart rate source label 
(“SOURCE:XXXX”) is displayed in the 
ECG parameter tile. This label indicates 
from where the heart rate parameter 
is derived and is displayed in the same 
color as the ECG waveform.
ECG: When ECG is selected as the heart rate source, the label HR 
(heart rate) is displayed in the ECG parameter tile. This label and its 
associated numeric value are displayed in the same color as the ECG 
waveform. The audible tone sounds with each R wave.
SpO2: When SpO
2
 is selected as the heart rate source, the label PR 
(pulse rate) is displayed in the ECG and SpO2 parameter tiles. This 
label and its associated numeric value are displayed in the same color 
as the SpO
2
 numeric value. The audible tone sounds at the peak of 
each pulse wave.
