IMPORTANT: The maximum length of Alarm Messages in Version 3, 4
and 5 is 50 characters; and in Version 1 and Version 2 it is 36 characters.
The first time you create a message with a length of more than 36
characters, you will be warned that the application’s compatibility has
changed—the new application will only run on terminals with release 3.0
and later firmware.
The Alarm window has more features than the Information window and
greater priority as well.
