Buttons, Indicators, and Alarms
Note: A valid button press, except the POWER ON/OFF button,
should cause the monitor to sound a valid or an invalid tone.
If the button pressed fails to emit a tone, contact the clinician
immediately.
Function of Front Panel Control Buttons
This section identifies and describes the function of each control
button located on the front panel. Refer to Figure 1 on page 9 for
the location of each button.
The POWER ON/OFF button is used to turn the N-595 monitor on
or off.
The ALARM SILENCE button is used to silence current audible
alarms for the alarm silence duration period, which is typically one
minute. If an audible alarm condition still exists after the alarm
silence duration had timed out, the alarm will sound again.When an
alarm has been silenced, pressing the button again reactivates, or
“unsilences” the alarm.
Use the ALARM SILENCE button to clear these messages from the
display:
• LOW BATTERY - Internal backup battery charge is low
• SENSOR DISCONNECT - Oximetry sensor is disconnected
from monitor
• SENSOR OFF - Sensor is not properly attached to the patient
The ADJUST UP button is used to increase variable settings of the
monitor.
The ADJUST DOWN button is used to decrease variable settings of
the monitor.
The CONTRAST button is used in conjunction with the ADJUST
UP and ADJUST DOWN buttons to lighten or darken the display
screen.
The softkey buttons have multiple uses depending on the legend
displayed above each of the four buttons.
