Programmer Overview
The AlarmView programmer is a handheld computing device, or per-
sonal digital assistant (PDA), that is used to setup and change the
configuration of the AlarmView transmitter. Use the programmer to
perform the following tasks:
• View or edit the list of bed numbers.
• View or edit the list of pager numbers and cap codes.
• View or change bed number and pager assignments.
• Set the Reminder Page Time Delay.
Changes and additions to bed numbers, pager numbers, and transmitter
assignments are entered in the programmer. Entered or changed data is
then sent to the transmitter via infrared (IrDA) ports on both the program-
mer and transmitter.
Information about the transmitter and monitor configuration can also be
retrieved from the transmitter to the programmer through the infrared
ports.
u The programmer is to be used for the AlarmView System only.
Do not attempt to load or use other software with the program-
mer, as it may corrupt or damage system software.
The programmer’s speaker may cause interference with some
pacemakers when used in close proximity. Do not place the
programmer on a patient or operate near a patient’s chest area.
Do not carry the programmer in a breast pocket.
