A signaling apparatus, comprising:
- an audio device configured to generate at least one output selected from the group consisting of a tone and a voice, the output is selected based upon a status level;
- and
- a light emitting diode (LED) strobe configured to illuminate in a variety of colors, where an illumination of a specific color is based upon the status level.
A method for indicating a status level, comprising:
- activating an audio device with an output selected from the group consisting of a tone and a voice, the output is selected based upon the status level;
- and
- activating a light emitting diode (LED) strobe configured to illuminate in a variety of colors, an illumination of specific color is based upon the output.
A system for indicating a status level, comprising:
- means for generating audio in response to an output selected from the group consisting of a tone and a voice, the output is selected based upon the status level;
- and
- means for generating a light emitting diode (LED) strobe, the means for generating is configured to illuminate in a variety of colors, wherein an illumination of a specific color is based upon the output.
