sounding the audible alarm tones described in the following table.

Audible alarms can be silenced or suspended. More detailed information about how to silence
and suspend audible alarms is included later in this chapter.

Alarm Indicator Self-Test

The Propaq MD unit performs a self-test of the audio and visual alarm indicators upon power-
up. To ensure that the alarms and alerts are functioning properly, verify that two alarm tones are
heard and the green, yellow, and red LEDs are illuminated upon power up.
