Message Function

Message Function

Message function is responsible for warning the user of changing conditions which require immediate attention. Press the MSG smart key to view the message. Press the MSG key again to return to the previous function. However, if a new message occurs, pressing MSG will not return to the previous function until all new messages have been viewed.

When a new message exists, the MSG annunciator flashes on and off approximately twice per second, until either the user views the new message, or the condition causing the message goes away. If multiple messages exist, the annunciator continues to flash until all new messages have been viewed.

Most new messages continue to be relevant following viewing of the new message, and are put into the old message list, where they remain until the condition causing the message goes away. Other messages are cleared from the message list as soon as they are viewed (they don’t become old messages). The decision whether a new message becomes an old message after viewing is described for each individual case below in the List of Messages section. The formats of all messages are the same if they are in the new or old message list.
