As with scheduled alarm inversions, the concept of the Grace period exists with manual inversions. However, for manual inversions, there is only one Grace period and it begins exactly when the inversion action takes place. When you are ready to manually change the Inverted mode of an alarm back to Off, the Grace period for this action begins at the moment of the manual action.
 

NOTE: The default Grace period for manual inversions is 0 seconds.

IMPORTANT: If your network is configured to report alarms to multiple GSMs, it is recommended that you configure the same Grace period duration for manual inversions among all GSMs. Similarly, it is recommended in this case that you configure the same Grace period duration for scheduled inversions among all GSMs.
