I have problems understanding the behaviour of the appointment alarm
annunciator.
According to the manual, if an appointment alarm is not acknowledged within 15
sec.,
the annunciator should stay on.  But it doesn't always stays on.  Looks for me
like 
repeating alarms do not leave the annunciator on if they don't get not
acknowledged. 
In addition, if several alarms are past due,  just the newest non repeating one
is displayed for
acknowledgment.  All other alarms just pass. Flags -43 and -44 are cleared.
Is this behaviour normal ?
