WARNING

7.9 Testing alarms
RDT recommends that visual and audible alarms are tested before use.
The alarm bar will light and the audible alarm will sound on switch on (unless the tactical switch is enabled).
If users do not perceive this test occurring, they should provoke a test to check that the visual and audible
alarms are working before they begin to use the device. A simple way to do this would be to insert a finger
into the pulse oximeter probe, wait for a reading to appear and then remove the finger. This will provoke a
technical alarm which will test the alarm bar (will light solid yellow) and the alarm tone.
