Note: The SpO

alarm can be suspended for only

3 minutes when the language setting is
configured to “Francais”. If the language is
set to any other language, pressing the SpO

ALARMS Off

button will suspend the alarm

until you remove the suspension.

Setting alarm limits - To set the SpO

alarm

limits, use the

Select

and

Set

buttons on the

right side of the monitor to follow these steps:
• Press the

Select

button to cycle through

SpO

, then Systolic

and

, and

Diastolic

• Each push of

Select

moves you to the next

limit. Stop at the limit you want to set. The
measurement and the

LED will

flash, indicating which limit is being
changed.

• Press the

Set

button up or down to raise or

lower the alarm limit. (When you come to the
end of the range, the numbers will stop
changing).

• Press the

Select

button again to go to the

next limit, or press it several times until none
of the measurements flash and no

LEDs are lit. The instrument is now in its
normal measurement mode. (If you do not
press any button for 10 seconds, the
instrument will automatically revert to its
normal measurement mode).

Pulse and Heart Rate alarms - There is one
case where the Heart Rate alarm receives status
information from the Oximeter pulse rate:
If ECG is inactive and the Heart Rate is shown
as dashes, the Heart Rate alarm is triggered by
the Pulse rate instead of the ECG Heart Rate.
If the Pulse rate falls outside the Heart Rate
limits, the Pulse measurement flashes and the
alarm sounds. If the Print On Alarm
configuration is set to Yes, a Pulse rate alarm
will trigger an automatic print. Use the large
blue

Silence

button to temporarily silence the

alarm, and use the

SpO

ALARMS Off

button to

suspend it. When alarms are silenced or
suspended, they do not trigger a Print On Alarm.

Saving volume settings – You can save your
volume settings for alarms and for pulse tone
after you change them, so that they become the
initial settings every time the Atlas Monitor is
powered on. After making the alarm and pulse
volume changes, press

Date/Time

to display the

Other Options menu, and press

Print

(or

Freeze

)

to save your settings. Press

Date/Time

to return

to the main screen. You may repeat this
