for that target, but
unless you turn the alarm back on for that
target it will not cause any other alarms
.
To turn the alarm back on for a target, press the
Alarm
button. The
display briefly shows whether alarms are muted or enabled for each
target whenever the
Mute
or
Alarm
button is pressed while a target
is displayed.
Note
: The
Mute
and
Alarm
button is found on the CPA Graphical
Display Screen whenever a target is converging.
The
Mute/Alarm
button serves as a toggle between enabled and
muted states for a given target. You can even use this feature to turn
off alarms for a target before it has triggered an alarm. In this
circumstance you may see a target displayed and decide that you
don't need an alarm for that target even if it eventually would trigger
one. Pressing the
Mute
button once will disable subsequent alarms
for that target. Pressing
Alarm
will re-enable them.
If more than one target is simultaneously triggering alarms, then the
highest priority target is shown first. Once you have pressed the
Mute
button for that target, the next highest priority target is
immediately shown and the alarm sounds again. When you press the
Mute
button for the last (or only) target with an alarm triggered, the
display remains showing that target.
When an alarm is triggered for a target, the target is automatically
displayed and the reason for the alarm is blinking (eg.
RNG
for a
guard alarm and
CPA
for a CPA alarm). The blinking stops when the
alarm is muted or the target is no longer triggering an alarm.
Guard Alarm
The simplest type of target alarm is the guard alarm. It is triggered
whenever a target is within range of the alarm setting. It works
