Audio alarm characteristics
• After you reset an audio alarm, some tones do not return, but others return after a pause
interval if the condition that caused the alarm persists. Settings in the Advanced tab determine
the length of the pause interval.
• If a new alarm condition occurs during a pause interval, a new audio tone occurs.
