Troubleshooting
This section presents tables of technical alarm and information messages to help you troubleshoot
issues on the monitor.
When the monitor detects certain events, a message appears in the Device Status area at the top
of the screen. Message types include the following:
• Information messages appear on a blue background.
• Low- and medium-priority alarms appear on an amber background.
• High-priority alarms appear on a red background.
Technical alarm messages are low priority unless noted in the Message column.
You can dismiss a message by touching the message on the screen, or, for some messages, you
can wait for the message to time out.
To use these tables, locate the message that displays on the monitor in the left column of the table.
The remainder of the row explains possible causes and suggests actions that can resolve the
issue.
Note Instructions to "Call for service" in the following tables mean that you should contact
qualified service personnel in your facility to investigate the issue.
