Controlling Alarms via the
TONE RESET/ALM SUSPEND Key
During an Alarm Condition
If you touch TONE RESET/ALM SUSPEND once at a monitor during an alarm
condition:
• The alarm tone is silenced at that monitor for 45-seconds, but the alarm tone
continues to sound at other monitors. If the alarm condition continues, the
alarm tone resumes at that monitor at the end of the 45-second period. If
another parameter goes into alarm during this period, or if the initial condition
ends and then begins again, the alarm tone will again sound at that monitor.
• The message ALARM TONES SUSPENDED FOR 45-SECONDS is
displayed only on that monitor.
• All flashing parameter keys continue to flash.
At a bedside monitor, when you touch the TONE RESET/ALM SUSPEND again
within 45-seconds:
• All alarms and alarm recordings are suspended for 3-minutes. No alarms
sound for any reason during this period, and no new alarm recordings are
produced.
• A message is displayed to indicate that all alarms are suspended.
• Trend data may not be collected. This feature can be enabled or disabled
only by your system administrator.
Normal alarm operation can be resumed within the 3-minute time period by
touching the TONE RESET/ALM SUSPEND or RESUME ALARMS key again.
In the Absence of an Alarm Condition
Touching the TONE RESET/ALM SUSPEND key once when no parameters are in
