Visual Alarm Signals
Each alarm priority has its own distinct visual alarm
signals. When the M540 is docked on the M500,
only the Cockpit provides audible alarm signals.
However, visual alarm signals (see page 76)
appear on the Cockpit and the M540.
The alarm message in the header bar is the only
visual alarm signal if an alarming parameter is not
included in the current screen view or the alarm bar
is disabled. For more information on alarm
messages, see page 78.
