This window allows system alerts to be displayed simul-
taneously. The Alerts window is enabled and disabled by
pressing the ALERTS softkey.

ANNUNCIATION WINDOW
The Annunciation window appears to the right of the

appear, they are displayed with a separate white line at
the top of the Annunciation window, regardless of priority.
Once they are acknowledged, they are sequenced based
on priority.
