seconds.

The message center will display the last selected feature if there are no
more warning messages. This allows you to use the full functionality of
the message center after you acknowledge the warning by pressing the
RESET control and clearing the warning message.

Warning messages that have been reset are divided into three categories:
• They cannot be reset until the condition is corrected.
• They will reappear on the display 10 minutes from the reset.

This acts as a reminder that these warning conditions still exist within
