Troubleshooting  46 
Silencing an audible alarm 
To silence an alarm, press any button on the front panel display to silence the alarm. If the alarm status 
changes, the alarm beeps again, overriding the previous alarm silencing. 
 
 
IMPORTANT:  
•  Although the audible alarm silences, the condition that caused the alarm to sound may still 
exist. 
•  If a utility power failure caused the alarm, the alarm silences after power is restored. 
 
For information about audible alarm conditions, see "Alarm troubleshooting (on page 44)."
