6.4 Silencing Alarms
When an alarm condition occurs and the alarm audio sounds, the user can select the Silence softkey
at the bottom of screen to silence the alarm audio. In silenced status, all the alarm indicators work
normally except audible alarm tones.
When the Silence softkey is selected, all active alarms are silenced and the icon on the left side of the
alarm message changes to indicate that the alarm is silenced. When the 120 second silence icon
appears, the audio alarms are silenced for 120 seconds, after which the audio alarms resume.
If you select the Silence softkey while all alarms are silenced, then the audio alarms will resume
immediately.
NOTE: A new alarm will sound if that alarm occurs while the system is in a
silenced state. If this occurs, you can select the Silence softkey again to
silence the new alarm and reset the silence countdown timer to 120
seconds.
