area. For physiological alarms, the asterisk symbols (*) before the alarm message match the
alarm level as follows:

îš„ Low level alarms: *
Additionally, the alarm message uses different background color to match the alarm level:

For technical alarm messages, their background highlights in blue. When the technical alarm
area shows prompt messages, the background keeps blank. You can view the alarm messages
