Controlling the audible alarm

You can control the alarm with the push-button. This process includes muting, enabling, and
disabling. When an error condition exists, the alphanumeric display reads Er, the alarm sounds,
and you can:
Correct all errors, thereby silencing the alarm until a new error occurs.
Mute, or temporarily disable, the alarm by pressing and holding the bottom push-button. The
alarm remains off until another error occurs, or until you enable (unmute) the alarm. When a
new error occurs, the alarm sounds and the push-button indicator is off.
Using the mute feature ensures that you are aware of the more severe errors and provides
you with the capability of correcting them promptly.
Disable the alarm to prevent any error condition from sounding the alarm.
NOTE: Disabling the alarm does not prevent the EMU alphanumeric display from displaying Er,
nor does it prevent HP Command View EVA from displaying the error condition report.
When the alarm is enabled (on), the bottom push-button status indicator is off.
