  3. The beep from an alarm is overridden by the continuous tone from a beep command. when the continuous beep completes, the system will return to the alarm beep.

  4. Sending <BEL> from the terminal will cause a short beep to be generated.

  5. Beeps are only audible on products with sounders fitted.
