systems) and other sources (like system broadcast messages and lab results, or from handset
initiated personal alarms) are shown, and can be responded to accordingly.

The Alert view shows incoming alerts in a list sorted in order of arrival. A new alert can be
indicated with (depending on system configuration):

In the example shown in Figure 38, a nurse call alert has just been triggered in room 103.
WARNING: An incoming, or repeated, alert may partly overlay a full screen alert of
higher priority.
CAUTION: Recognition of alerts, warnings, and conversation messages can be
impeded if the volume of the sounds used to indicate alerts, warnings,
and conversation messages is lower than the ambient sound levels.
NOTE: The Alert view on the handset may differ from what is described in this
chapter, depending on the configuration.
NOTE: If the handset is set up as a shared phone (or as a personal/temporary phone
with user login enabled in Unite), alerts are personal and will be purged
whenever a new user logs into the handset. For more information about the
shared phone functionality, please see 4.13.5 Shared Phone on page 32 or
the Configuration Manual, Ascom Myco Smartphone.
NOTE: If two or more alert notifications of equal priority are generated, the one
generated first will be displayed first.
NOTE: The Alert view can store up to 100 alerts (first in, first out).
