Optical alarm signals
Each alarm priority has its own distinct optical alarm
signals. When the M540 is docked on the M500,
only the Cockpit provides acoustic alarm signals.
However, optical alarm signals appear on the
Cockpit and the M540.
The alarm message in the header bar is the only
optical alarm signal if an alarming parameter is not
included in the current screen view or the alarm bar
is deactivated.
