Alarm notification locations
WARNING If you are relying on visual alarm notifications, maintain a clear line of
sight with the monitor and/or Nurse Call. If you are relying on audio alarm
notifications, ensure that you can hear audio alarms from where you are. Set the
volume as needed considering the environment and ambient noise levels.

When the Nurse Call cable is connected and Nurse Call has been enabled, the monitor
immediately notifies the Nurse Call system when an alarm occurs. Nurse Call notification settings
are specified in the Advanced settings.
