Alarm/alert types
You can set up your monitor to either beep or vibrate when an alarm or an alert occurs. See the next
chapter for details on setting the alert type.
Operating modes
The screen tells you when a special feature is active or if there is a condition that needs your attention.
The monitor status will determine the operating mode. The screens for the different modes are shown
below.
Normal mode
No alarms or alerts are active.
Special mode (Alerts)
Tells you that a special feature is
active or that a certain alert
condition exists. In Special mode,
an open circle appears at the top
of the screen and the monitor
beeps or vibrates periodically to remind you of the condition. All sensor alerts change from beep or
vibration to siren if not cleared within 10 minutes. Special mode does not restrict any monitor functions.
Special mode features and conditions are:
• Block feature is turned on (special feature)
• Low Battery alert
• Sensor alerts
Attention mode (Alarms)
Tells you that an alarm is active or that there is an alarm condition that
needs immediate attention. In the Attention mode, a solid circle shows
at the top of the screen and the monitor beeps or vibrates periodically
until the condition is cleared. The beep or vibration frequency changes,
depending on the condition that put the monitor in Attention mode.
