Audio alarm characteristics
•
After you reset an audio alarm, some tones do not return, but others return after a
pause interval if the condition that caused the alarm persists.
• If a new alarm condition occurs during a pause interval, a new audio tone occurs.
• If an audio alarm is not paused or turned off after a period of time, a buzzer
accompanies the tone.
