The default setting for the alarm volume is at the midpoint of its range. Use
this option to make the appropriate adjustments as required. The option
includes a test function so that you can hear the alarm while changing it.
For information on setting this option, see the procedure Setting a Range
Value on page 5-12.
Visual Alarm Enable
The instrument causes the interface screen display to blink to alert you to an
error condition. The blinking terminates when you press any key on the
instrument keypad.
Since the VITEK
®
2 instrument and workstation each have an audible alarm,
the visible alarm may be unnecessary. If so, use this option to disable the
alarm.
CAUTION: Do not disable both the audible and visual alarms on
the instrument unless it is located very near the workstation.
Doing so makes it more difficult to know that an error condition
exists.
For information on setting this option, see the procedure Using Option
Boxes on page 5-11.
Audible Feedback Volume
The VITEK
®
2 instrument interface uses a touch pad type of keypad. It
sounds an audible click when you press each key. The volume of the click
can be adjusted to account for laboratory conditions.
The default setting for the Audible Feedback volume is at the midpoint of its
range. Use this option to make the appropriate adjustments.
For information on setting this option, see the procedure Setting a Range
Value on page 5-12.
Screen Contrast
The VITEK
®
2 user interface screen uses an LCD display. This option
controls the amount of background contrast on the display.
Viewing of a LCD screen can be enhanced by changing the contrast under
certain lighting conditions. Use this option to change the screen if conditions
require it.
