4. Warnings and Emergency Procedures
The InstantEye Mk-3 GEN4-D1 system was designed with a focus on safety. The system
has numerous warning messages built into the software to indicate when a potential
problem exists. These warnings help identify when emergency procedures need to be
initiated. A complete list of the system’s warning messages and descriptions of the
emergency procedures are provided below. All operators should make sure to familiarize
themselves with these procedures and periodically review them to ensure they are
prepared to rapidly respond in the event of an emergency. Many emergency situations
are remedied using the same few key emergency response actions.
4.1. Warning Messages
Provided in Table 1 is a summary of all of the potential warning messages that an operator
may encounter, along with a further description of the message and/or recommended
