7.16 Alarms and Warnings
All alarms and warnings are indicated by both audible and visual means.
Alarms are initially displayed on the Alarm Status Indicator, from where they
can be acknowledged. Some alarms are automatically cleared by the system.
A list of all currently active and unacknowledged alarms and warnings is
shown in the Alarms Display.
There are two types of announcement sources: internal and external. Internal
announcements are generated by the VisionMaster FT system. External
announcements are those relayed to the alarm management system from
other equipment.

7.16.1 Prompts
Prompts appear directly underneath the Alarms and Warnings field and can
be either temporary or permanent.
Permanent prompts denote a state or mode of operation, provide instruction
to the operator, or may display settings.
Temporary prompts are general system responses to a user interaction and
are displayed briefly for a commissioned time period.
7.16.2 Alarm Buzzer
The alarm buzzer is located in the monitor and controlled by the PCIO Unit.
