The SUSPEnd Button
The SUSPEnd feature is indicated when extended patient care is required. This feature allows you
additional time to perform that care without activating the alarm.
To Place the Alarm on SUSPEnd:
1. With the magnet disconnected from the front of the alarm (as in an
unauthorized patient exit), press the SUSPEND button on the top of
the alarm (fig. 7) until the monitoring indicator LEd flashes REd.
2. As soon as the alarm is placed in SUSPEnd, the patient can be away
from the alarm without the need for the alarm to be turned off.
3. As soon as the magnet is reattached to the front of the
alarm, the alarm automatically reverts back to monitor mode.
You will hear a “beep,” indicating the alarm is activated and monitoring.
The monitoring indicator LEd light will be flashing green, indicating the
alarm is in monitoring mode.
4. To take the alarm out of SUSPEND, reattach the magnet.
Test the alarm and magnet for proper operation prior to putting in service with a
patient, and each time before leaving the patient unattended. If the alarm and/or magnet do not
function properly, remove the alarm and magnet from service and replace them with a properly
functioning alarm and/or magnet (see pages 17-18). Ensure the LED, indicating monitoring, is blinking
green.
