System alarms
Alarms put the monitor in Attention mode. You may encounter the alarms listed below while using the
system. These alarms include information about how to resolve the alarm condition.
A (Alarm) (nn)
Shows a letter A followed by two numbers that show the alarm number. A-alarms cause the monitor to
reset. If this alarm repeats often, then call the HelpLine or your local representative for assistance.
BATT OUT LIMIT
Occurs if the battery is removed from the monitor and more than ten minutes passes before a battery is
inserted. This alarm may happen when you remove and reinsert a monitor battery.
Go to the UTILITIES menu and reset the date and time. Then follow the Find Lost Sensor procedure to re-
establish communication with the sensor.
BUTTON ERROR
Occurs if a button has been continually pressed for more than three minutes.
CHECK SETTINGS
When this alarm is active, check and/or reprogram your settings as necessary (including the time and
date).
E (Error) (nn)
Shows a letter E followed by two numbers that show the alarm number. E-alarms reset the monitor and
clear all of your monitor settings. You must reset your monitor settings after an E-alarm occurs. You must
also turn on the sensor, and do the Find Lost Sensor procedure to re-establish communication. If you need
help, note the error number, then call the HelpLine or your local representative for assistance.
