| Octoox alerts |
If something happens which needs your attention, Octoox will display an apropriate
alert in a topmost section of screen.
- Only one alert can be displayed. If two alerts go off simultaneuosly, you only
get higher priority one.
- Most alerts have sounds associated with them.
- Sounds are supressed for 60 seconds when you start Octoox. This allows GPS receiver
to establish a fix, eliminating unnecessary alarm.
- The alerts are color-coded.
