Adjusting Alarm Volume
There are three (3) alarm volume settings: low, medium and high. These allow you to select the
right volume for facility and/or patient needs.
All volume settings are within OSHA standards. For maximum staff alert in noisy areas, use
HIGHEST (loudest) volume setting.
ALWAYS check to ensure staff can hear alarm at the furthest possible
distance before leaving patient unattended.
NEVER place alarm closer than two feet from patient’s ear. Doing so may
cause hearing loss or other injury. For more information, see: OSHA OCCUPATIONAL
NOISE EXPOSURE STANDARDS 1910.95.
To Change Volume:
1. Lift the programming control protective cover (fig. 10).
2. Ensure alarm is on and either sensor pad, chair belt sensor, or magnet is attached to alarm.
Ensure pressure is on sensor pad, chair belt sensor is connected, or magnet is on face plate.
3. Alarm mode must be set to either “Voice and Tone” or “Tone” (see pages 9-10) in order to
hear the selection.
4. Press VOLUME button on left side of alarm to scroll through the volume selections (fig. 11).
5. Each time you press the button, the volume changes and a two (2) second sample plays.
6. Continue to press the VOLUME button until you hear the desired volume. The last sample
heard is the volume in use.
7. Replace the programming control protective cover, securing it into place.
