Responding to System Alarms
A System Alarm indicates that the monitor may not be functioning properly or at optimum capacity. The
information in this section will help you respond appropriately to system alarms. When a SmartMonitor 2
system alarm occurs, one of the lights at the bottom of the front panel will come on.
If this light is
on
And this condition
exists
It means...

on and stay on for as long as the monitor is on.

stay on while the battery charger is plugged into an active

automatically shut down.
