6.3.3.1 MONITOR: Alarms
IMPORTANT NOTE – The CDM/R-570ALuses a system of Fault Prioritization, where
the modem will display only the highest priority fault in a designated category.
This cuts down significantly on unwanted and irrelevant fault reporting.
For example, if the demodulator is unlocked, then it is irrelevant if there are
other Rx faults present. However, if the demodulator then locks while a lower-
priority fault is present, then the modem will display that fault. This also applies
for faults reported via remote control.
For CDM/R-570ALunits with ODUs, see Chapter 10. CDM-570A/570AL ODU

submenu and the listing of prioritized ODU faults.
