The Pulse menu appears, displaying the current settings.
2 Touch the Pulse Tone Volume field.
A numeric keypad appears.
3 Enter a value from 0 to 8, then touch OK.

Note
The frequency and pitch of the pulse rate tone (PRT) varies depending on the pulse rate
source. For pulse rate derived from SpO
2
, the frequency and pitch changes based on the
SpO
2
level. For NBP-derived pulse rate, there is no PRT because the NBP measurement
is static.
