Clearing Alarm Status
After handling the alarm or confirming that the danger has passed, the alarm status can be cleared from the DDCS target:
Select the target with an active alarm on the chart (left-click)
In the context menu or the DSC Target window, select End the Alarm
The alarm for the target will be cleared
The target symbol will change color from red to green, indicating the target’s normal status
Important
Clearing the alarm does not mean that the target has stopped transmitting the alarm signal. If the transmitting station continues to transmit the alarm, the alarm status will be set again upon the next message reception.
