ANNUNCIATIONS AND ALERTS

The Alerting System conveys alerts using the following items:
• CAS Annunciation Window: The CAS Annunciation Window displays abbreviated annunciation text. Text
color is based on alert levels described later in the Alert Levels Definitions section. When Crew Alerting System
(CAS) messages are generated, the CAS Window opens on the PFD. Up to 12 messages can be displayed; when
more than 12 messages accumulate, the CAS Up Softkey and the CAS Dn Softkey become available. Press the
CAS scrolling softkeys to scroll up and down through the messages in the CAS Window. A white horizontal
line separates annunciations that are acknowledged from annunciations that are not yet acknowledged. Higher
priority annunciations are displayed towards the top of the window. Lower priority annunciations are displayed
towards the bottom of the window.
• Alerts Window: The Alerts Window displays text messages for up to 64 prioritized alert messages. Pressing
the Alerts Softkey displays the Alerts Window. Pressing the Alerts Softkey a second time removes the Alerts
Window from the display. When the Alerts Window is displayed, the FMS Knob can be used to scroll through
the alert list.
• Softkey Annunciation: During certain alerts, a Warning or Caution Softkey may appear as a flashing
annunciation to accompany an alert. The Alerts Softkey assumes a new label consistent with the alert level
(Warning, Caution). By pressing the softkey when flashing an annunciation, the alert is acknowledged. The
softkey label then returns to Alerts. If alerts are still present, the Alerts label is displayed in white with black
text. Pressing the Alerts Softkey a second time views the alert text messages.
• System Annunciations: Typically, a large red 'X' appears over instruments whose information is supplied by a
failed Line Replaceable Unit (LRU). See the System Annunciations Section for more information.
