Restoring Default Alarm Settings

system administrator. The default values set by your system administrator override
the factory defaults.

change the patient type, put the monitor in Standby mode, or shut the monitor down.
The default settings are based on the current patient type.

The Alarm Settings menu opens, displaying the General tab.
