• If you want to see a numerical indication of the current alarm volume on a scale from zero to 10,
or change the setting, select the
Alarm Volume SmartKey.
The volume scale pops up. The current setting is indented. To change the setting, select the
required number on the scale. Any settings that are inactive ("grayed out") have been disabled in
the monitor's Configuration Mode.
• When the alarm volume is set to zero (off), the alarm volume symbol reflects this.
If you switch the alarm volume off, you will not get any audible indication of alarm conditions.
There is no alarm volume indication on the screen of an X2 when connected to a host monitor
(
Companion Mode is indicated).
Minimum Volume for No Central Monitoring INOP
If your monitor is connected to an Information Center, and the connection is interrupted, the INOP
message
No Central Monit. will appear within 30 seconds, accompanied by an INOP tone. To help
ensure that this INOP, and any other active alarm, is not overlooked, the INOP and alarm tones may
be configured to have a minimum volume. In this case, INOP and alarm tones will sound even if the
monitor alarm volume is set to zero.
Minimum Volume for Severe Yellow or Red INOPs
Severe yellow or red INOPs require action to ensure the well-being of the patient. Therefore the
minimum volume for the INOP tone is set to at least alarm volume 8, irrespective of the current alarm
volume setting. The INOP tone will sound even if the monitor alarm volume is set to zero.
The severe INOPs for which this applies are:
Cuff Not Deflated (configurable to yellow or red)
NBP Cuff Overpress (configurable to yellow or red)
!! Insert Battery - X2 (yellow)
Battery Empty / Replace Battery - (configurable to light blue, yellow or red)
Power Loss Tone
When power is lost - no power is available via the power cable or battery (where available) - a buzzer
will sound, if so configured. The tone can be silenced by pressing the On/Off power switch.
Acknowledging Alarms
To acknowledge all active alarms and INOPs, select the Silence permanent key. This switches off the
audible alarm indicators and alarm lamps.
