5. Use the 78 command to immediately remove (kill) all alarms from all alarm stacks. This is very
convenient, but you should be sure that you know what's going on and that you won't need to hear
those alarms again, because they're gone for good when you use this function. If you're not entirely
sure, use 77 instead of 78 for safety.
The alarm system is very flexible so the way that you choose to handle the alarms is left up to you,
but all of the above will stop the Sicon-8 from calling you. It's really just a question of saving some,
or all, of the alarms for later review.

‘New’ alarm reporting commands are:
71 – Back up to previous alarm
72 – Re-read current alarm
73 – Skip to next alarm
74 – Mark the current alarm to be saved on the alarms queue.
75 – Mark for deletion. Alarm stays in queue until call ends.
76 – Jump directly to the channel that caused the alarm. Enter a 93 to hear the next unplayed alarm
77– Immediately acknowledges all new alarms and puts them all on the saved alarm queue.
This clears the new alarm queue.
78 – Immediately clears all alarms in both new and saved alarm queue (nuke all alarms mode).
93 – Jump directly to the next un-played alarm in the queue.
Saved alarm reporting commands are the same as the “new alarms” command set:
71 – Back up to previous alarm
72 – Re-read current alarm
73 – Skip to next alarm
74 – Mark the current alarm to be saved on the alarms queue.
75 - Alarm can still be saved until end of call.
76 – Jump directly to the channel that caused the alarm. Enter a 93 to hear the next unplayed alarm
77 – Immediately puts all new alarms on the saved alarm queue and clears the new alarm queue.
78 – Immediately clears all alarms in both new and saved alarm queues (nuke all alarms mode).
93 – Jump directly to the next un-played alarm in the queue.
If there are new alarms pending, you must listen to them before you can hear any saved alarms. In
this regard, the Sicon-8 behaves like many cell phone voice mail message systems, where you must
hear new messages before it will play saved messages.
When the Sicon-8 is done reporting alarms it will say “no more alarms”. Enter 92 to replay. You
may also enter any system command or a channel number to jump to a command/metering channel.
