Acknowledging and Silencing an Alarm for 10 Minutes: To acknowledge and silence any active alarm for 10
minutes, push the Voice Alarm Control Panel switch to the “ACK” position three times within three seconds or less.
On the third push, a low tone boop will be heard in the headset, indicating that all active alarms will be silenced for
10 minutes.
Turning the Voice Warning System “OFF”: To disable the MVP Voice Warning System, silence all voice
alarms in the headset and reset any silence delay times, set the Voice Alarm Control Panel switch to the “OFF”
position. When the Control Panel Switch is once again set to the “ON” position, the MVP will announce “Voice
Annunciator enabled.” This will be followed by the announcement of any active alarms.
Adjusting the Volume of the Voice Warnings: The “Voice & Display Controls” screen provides a control to
adjust the volume level of the voice warnings. To navigate to the “Voice & Display Control” screen start by viewing
the Main Engine Screen, push the Menu button and select the “Voice
& Display Control” screen near the botton of the page.
Setup: The “4. Redlines, Limits and Color Setup” screen (found in
section 6.3.4 of this manual) provides the following:
A. A setting to enable or disable a voice warning for a given
function.
B. Settings for activating a voice warning when a “red” and/or
“yellow” limit is reached for a given function.
C. A method to select the voice warning file that will be
played when a function reaches a limit. Custom voice
warning files may be installed using the USB port located
on the front of the MVP (see section 6.1.1 of this manual).
False Alarms: As with any warning system, it is important there are no false alarms. False alarms can desensitize a
pilot to all alarms, which can cause a serious situation to go undetected. Setting proper red and yellow limits for
each function is a key step in eliminating false alarms.
2.9 Disabling a Display:
Any display shown on the Main Engine or System Screen may be disabled. This allows an improperly operating
function on the MVP to be designated “DISABLED.” To disable an MVP instrument display, see the “4. Redlines,
Limits and Color Setup” screen (found in section 6.3.4 of this manual). This feature is password protected.
