5.9 Alarms
Alarms are used to alert you to a situation or hazard requiring your attention. Alarms are triggered
by system functions and external devices connected to the MFD (Multifunction Displays). Alarms
are displayed on all networked MFDs.
Alarms are color coded to signify their severity:

due to a potential or immediate danger to life or vessel. Dangerous alarms are accompanied by an
audible tone. The Dangerous alarm notification and audible tone will continue to be displayed until
acknowledged or the conditions that triggered the alarm are no longer present. Acknowledged
alarms may remain active whilst the alarm condition persists but will not trigger further onscreen or
audible notifications.
Warning alarms
Orange — An Orange notification is used to signify a warning alarm condition. Warnings alarms are
used to signify that there has been a change in situation that you need to be aware of. Warnings
alarms are accompanied by an audible tone. The warning alarm notification and audible tone will

present. Acknowledged alarms may remain active whilst the alarm condition persists but will not
trigger further onscreen or audible notifications.
