Reference:
S If more than one bit among the bits indicated above is 1 (ON) at the same time,
only one type of buzzer sounds according to the priority: continuous buzzer >
short intermittent sound > long intermittent sound. To stop the buzzer when it is
sounding, set 0 (0) for all bits indicated above; setting 0 (OFF) only for the bit
corresponding to the type of buzzer sound may not stop the buzzer.
S When the screen is changed, the buzzer setting in the screen attributes may
cause the buzzer status to change, causing it to vary from the status in the PT
Status Control Area bits. For example, the buzzer may stop even though the bit
for a continuous buzzer is ON. If this occurs, reset the bit in the PT Status Con-
trol Area.
Using this method, an operator can stop the buzzer by the operation at the PT.
Usually, a buzzer stop touch switch is registered to a screen for which the buzzer

for controlling the backlight mode.

S If the screen saver function is set to Display erased, the backlight is turned off
with the screen, which is turned off by the screen saver function if the PT not
operated for a while, or by operation at the PT status control area. Even when
the backlight has gone off, it may light or flash according to the setting if the
backlight mode is changed by operation at the PT status control area.
S This setting is ineffective in the NT631.
