4.3.1 Silencing an alarm
You can temporarily silence an alarm by pressing the control dial. The alarm is silenced for 60 seconds and
then sounds again if the cause of the alarm has not been corrected. If another alarm occurs while the silence
period is active, the audible alarm portion of the new alarm will not sound until the silence period expires.
When the silence period expires, the alarm's audible alarm is reactivated if the alarm condition has not be
corrected.

Alarm message screens

When an alarm message is activated, an alarm screen is displayed, showing the text or icon specific to the
most recent, highest priority alarm.
Pressing the control dial once will silence the audible alarm. Press the control dial again to remove the alarm
screen from the display. Resetting the alarm allows you to return to the previous screen. If multiple alarms
occur during the same period of time, the alarm screen will display the higher priority alarm (higher priority
alarms take precedence over lower priority alarms).
