6.5.3 Flashing Numeric
If an alarm triggered by an alarm limit violation occurs, the numeric of the measurement
in alarm will flash every second, and the corresponding alarm limit will also flash at the
same frequency indicating the high or low alarm limit is violated.

When an alarm occurs on the screen, the alarm message appears in the message area.
The background color of the alarm message and the asterisk symbols (*) before the

NOTE
• When multiple alarms of different levels occur simultaneously, the
TM80/TM70 selects the alarm of the highest level to light the alarm light
and sound alarms accordingly, while all the alarm messages scroll in the
message area on the top of the screen.
• Some physiological alarms, such as Asystole, are exclusive. They have
identical alarm tones and alarm lights with normal high level physiolog-
ical alarms, but their alarm messages are displayed exclusively. That is,
when an exclusive physiological alarm and a normal high level physio-
logical alarm are triggered simultaneously, only exclusive physiological
alarm message will be displayed.
