Acoustic alarm signals

It always is the alarm with the highest priority that
is acoustically signaled. The signal is emitted until
either the cause of the alarm is remedied or the
Audio paused key is pressed.
Depending on the overall alarm situation, it is
possible that the 10-tone sequence for the alarm
priority "Warning" is only emitted as a 5-tone
sequence due to the coinciding occurrence of
alarms.
Regardless of the set alarm volume, the No O
delivery alarm is issued at maximum volume.
