The system uses the following enabled/disabled indicators to indicate the status of
the alarms. When an alarm is marked as disabled, this means that it is completely
disabled, and will not display audio or visual indicators. Therefore, when an alarm is
disabled, no alarm indicators will be seen or heard and no alarm will be recorded in
the record of the case.
In addition, please note that an enabled alarm can be silenced using the audio alarms
pause and silence options described in 4.3.6 Audio Alarms Pause and Silence on page
167. In such a case, visual alarm indicators will appear on the screen, as well as the
enabled indicator seen in the table below, but audible alarm indicators will not occur.
