Alarm indications
•
When the monitor is turned on, you will hear a beep: this tells you that the alarm audio
signal is working. Also the alarm LED indicators are lit up for a few seconds. To check
them, see section ”Functioning of the alarms.” You can also check the functioning of the
audio signal and alarm light through
Alarms Setup - Alarm Volume or Alarm Light.
• If alarms are turned off and a power interruption occurs when there is no battery backup,
or if the monitor is turned off for up to 15 minutes, check the alarm status before you start
monitoring again.
• If the monitor is connected to the network, the alarms can be heard and seen on the
Central as well. Please, consult the "iCentral User's Reference Manual: Alarms" for details.
• If the monitor is connected to the network, the alarms can also be silenced using the
Central if this feature has been enabled in Central configuration.
