Match Alarm
You can configure the system to require a Mother/Infant match before an infant can be discharged. The Match
Alarm occurs when an infant is discharged and the alarming band material is cut, before performing the required
Mother/Infant match. The Require Mother/Infant match before discharge is configured in the Configuration,
Global Settings menu (refer to the Series 5.0 Software Administrator Guide).

NOTE: You can click Silence to stop the alarm sound at the Central Server or Client
computer. The alarm is silenced, at that computer only, for the configured length of time;
however, the event still appears in the Event List. The next event automatically restarts the
alarm sound.
