Some of the CDU help window messages clear automatically when the condition
is removed. Others, such as INVALID ENTRY, INVALID DELETE and NOT IN
DATABASE must be manually cleared using the CLR MSG key. The CDU help
window messages display according to their level of importance. A less important
message replaces another message in the CDU help window when the CLR MSG
key is pushed or for some messages when the condition is corrected.

FMC communications message. Clear the message or correct the condition to
cancel the message.
