Alarm Indicator
An Alarm Indicator on the MX40 main display communicates alarm/INOP
conditions that have not been acknowledged. The alarm indicator is
divided into two sections and appears in the upper right hand corner
normally occupied by the time display. The right section flashes for a
physiological alarm, except for short yellow alarms where the indicator will
light for approximately six seconds. The color is yellow or red
corresponding to the highest priority alarm currently present.

An acknowledged physiological alarm and INOP with an additional
unacknowledged physiological alarm appears as (landscape view):
The left section lights continuously for a standard INOP and flashes for
INOPs configured as red or yellow alarms as follows:

If only physiological alarms are present, and no INOPs, the physiological
alarms will use both left and right sections to flash (for red and yellow
alarms) or light for approximately six seconds (for short yellow alarms). If
only INOPs are present, and no physiological alarms, red and yellow
INOPs will use both left and right sections to flash, but standard INOPs will
always light continuously in the left section only.
Once all alarm/INOP conditions are acknowledged, the time display
reappears.
