EAD Alert Display
Alerts are presented in three columns in the lower 1/3 of the EAD. Each column
allows alerts up to 17 characters long, including leading triangles for level 3 alerts.
The first two columns may contain six messages, but the third column is limited
to only four messages because the two bottom lines are dedicated for reminder
messages. Alerts are presented in the following order:
• Level 3 alerts are displayed in red, boxed in red, and have leading
triangles. They are presented at the top of the leftmost column on the
EAD. There is no priority within level 3 alert messages. The latest is
added to the top of the list.
• Level 2 alerts are shown in amber and boxed in amber. They are presented
below any level 3 alerts. There is no priority within level 2 alerts. The
latest is added to the top of the group of level 2 alerts.
• Level 1 alerts are displayed in amber and are presented below any level 3
or level 2 alerts. There is no priority within level 1 alerts. The latest is
added to the top of the group of level 1 alerts.
• Level 0 alerts are displayed in cyan and are presented above the dedicated
reminder message area (fifth line of the right column). There is no priority
within level 0 alerts. The latest is added to the top of the group of level 0
alerts.
