3. Open the Alarms Settings screen. The Alarm Settings screen can be
reached via the options described above.
4. To enable an alarm, select a parameter at the left. Set limit by dragging
alarm setting handle to the desired level. Once you make any change to
the limit, the alarm will become enabled. Alternatively, you can slide the
Alarm Disabled slider from the left side (Alarm Disabled) to the right side
(Alarm Enabled) and then change the limit. Once this is done, the alarm
indicators in this window (the ON or OFF text next to the alarm name and
the slider in the middle of the window) will automatically indicate that the
alarm is ON. Note that you will not be able to apply the enabling of the
alarm limit until a limit is set.
5. Click APPLY to save these changes.
6. Attach a sensor to begin monitoring. Once a new sensor is attached to the
monitor, a new case with a unique case ID will begin. This case will use the
alarm settings that you have just set.
7. Alternatively, a sensor can be attached first, and then the alarm adjustment
can be made. However, for recording purposes, best practice would be to
set all alarms and then begin monitoring.
Once a sensor is attached to the monitor, the settings valid at the time the sensor
was attached (if changes were made before attaching the sensor), or the changes
made while the sensor was attached (if changes were made after attaching the
sensor) will remain valid for that sensor. This will hold true even if the sensor is
removed and replaced.
If alarm changes are made when no sensor is attached to the monitor, the alarm
changes that have just been made will be valid until the monitor Is turned off. They
will be valid for all sensors attached to the monitor, except for the following situation:
If a sensor was previously attached to the monitor at a point when the settings were
different, the sensor and its case will retain the previous settings.
