If the EPU is greater than the active RNP for a set period of time
(determined by phase of flight), the FMS will provide an alert (DGRAD
on the PFD and UNABLE RNP on the MCDU scratchpad) to notify the
crew that the system does not have the necessary accuracy or integrity
to maintain RNP operations for the current RNP type. The following
table describes the relationship between phase of flight and the time to
alarm.

features and annunciations.
