If a blood pressure cycle is in progress, pressing this button aborts the cycle and immediately
releases the cuff pressure. In "STAT" automatic blood pressure mode, pressing the cancel button
aborts the cycle in process, and cancels the "STAT" mode as well.

Signs Monitor.

cally after 30 seconds, or when the patient's condition returns to within the preset alarm param-
eters. In Silence Mode, the silence indicator light will glow.
