Turning NBP Alarm Audio Off
WARNING
• Never disable an auditory alarm if this action could compromise patient safety.
• Do not rely exclusively on the auditory alarm system for patient monitoring. The most reliable
method of patient monitoring requires correct operation of the monitor and close observation of
the patient.
Alarm audio is on by default unless either of the following is true:
• You are operating in Alarms Off monitoring mode (if this mode was enabled by your
system administrator). See “Alarms Off Mode” on page 4-16.
• Audio is globally turned off (if this option was enabled by your system administrator).
See “Global Audio Off Mode” on page 4-15.
In the NBP menu, you can touch the Alarm Audio On/Off button to toggle alarm audio
on and off. For details, see “To turn off alarm audio for one measurement” on page 4-9.
