5-6 CARESCAPE V100 Vital Signs Monitor 2036991-001C
Alarms: Alarms and Priorities
Memory Alarm
The E00 MEMORY LOST alarm is generated on power-up when battery backed
RAM has been corrupted. When it occurs, all settings are reset to their factory
defaults and all entries in clinical history are erased. This alarm is generated as a
high-priority alarm.
When detected while powering-up in clinical, configuration, or advanced
configuration mode, the status code related to this condition flashes in the
Systolic window and the appropriate alarm sound becomes audible. While the
E00 MEMORY LOST alarm is active, all parameters remain in their offline state
and only the Silence button is available.
Battery Alarms
Refer to the “Battery” Section for detailed information regarding battery alarms.
Remote Alarm
Remote alarms are an output of the host comm connector. A remote alarm
activates when any high- or medium-priority alarms or system failure alarms
are active, or if the monitor is powered off.
NOTE: When using remote alarm, the V100 Monitor should be considered the
primary alarm source. The secondary alarm is used for secondary
purposes only.

failure. To view and print a system failure entry, the monitor must be in
advanced configuration mode.

 The failure sound is generated for up to 5 minutes.
 To turn the monitor off, press the On/Off button for less than 5 seconds.
 After alarming for up to 5 minutes the monitor shuts down completely.
