Press the appropriate
ALARMS Off button to
suspend the audible alarm for a selected
measurement. The LED in the button will light,
indicating that the alarm is off. If this
measurement goes outside the set limits, the
displayed value will flash. When you remove
the suspension, the light will turn off.
Remove suspension under the Francais
language setting – When the “Francais”
language option is selected in the Advanced
Configuration Menu, the alarms can only be
suspended for 3 minutes. At the end of that time
the suspension will be removed. You can
remove the suspension before the 3 minutes
have elapsed by pressing the
ALARMS Off
button again.
Remove suspension under other language
settings – When the Atlas Monitor is set to all
other languages including Canadian French,
alarms will remain suspended until they are
turned back on or the monitor is turned off. To
remove suspension, press the
ALARMS Off
button again. Remember, suspended alarms do
not time out automatically. Alarms are not
suspended at power up, but an alarm will not
sound until valid measurements have begun.
Saving alarm settings – You can save your
alarm settings after you change them, so that
they become the initial settings every time the
Atlas Monitor is powered on. After making the
alarm limit changes, press
Date/Time to display
the Other Options menu, and press
Print (or
Freeze) to save your settings. Press Date/Time
to return to the main screen. You may repeat this
whenever you want to change your settings.
