monitored, INOP and ALARM messages in a rotating field. The alarm
parameter numeric will be blinking.

alarms the Alarm Bed Task Window remains on the display; if your
monitor is configured not to receive silenced alarms the Alarm Bed Task
Window is removed from the display.

one or more other beds in the Other Patients group with an
unacknowledged alarm. (See next page).
