■ Advisory Alarms
Advisory alarms tell you about a condition that requires your
attention. Each advisory alarm beeps intermittently. When you
hear an advisory alarm, first turn on the PDM to display the Sta-
tus screen. The PDM communicates with the Pod, if necessary,
and the screen displays a message describing the alarm and how
to resolve it.
Some advisory alarms are controlled by levels you set in the Set-
tings screen. One example is the level at which the Low
reservoir volume alarm sounds.
All advisory alarms are time-sensitive and require a response.
Some advisory alarms escalate to hazard alarms if you do not
respond within a certain time period (as noted in the table
below).
