		A full alarm tone is reannounced after 2
		or 3 minutes. The alarm tone will sound
		continuously until it is silenced by
		pressing the	Silence/Reset	key.

The alarm reminder clock starts counting from the beginning again

every time the	Silence/Reset	key is pressed. If an alarm has been
acknowledged by pressing the			key, and during the
		Silence/Reset

next 3 minutes a new alarm (of whatever priority) occurs and is silenced, the alarm reminder will sound 3 minutes later for the highest priority alarm. The alarm reminder always functions for the highest priority acknowledged alarm. The alarm reminder will not sound if there is an active INOP or alarm present. For maximum safety when monitoring patients, you must resolve active INOPs and alarms quickly so that the alarm reminder function can operate.

Even when the alarms are suspended or individually switched off, the corresponding parameter numeric will blink if an alarm condition occurs and “Maintain Visual Alarms” is set to “Yes” in a special Configuration Mode by your biomedical engineering department.

Note—The central stations 78560A, M2350A and M2360A can be configured to silence and reset the alarms of the bedside monitors. If your system is connected to such a central station you can silence an alarm at the central station. The central stations 78504A and 78508A can silence and reset the alarms of the bedside monitor only if configured to do so by a Philips service engineer or hospital biomedical engineer. This is then permanent and cannot be altered by the user.
