beep chart

After an exhaustive search I've come up empty. When I turn the key from off to run (prior to starting) on my 2007 240 5.7Gxi I hear 3 beeps. Then starts normally and runs perfectly. Since the boat had a full survey and no problems found I have just enjoyed getting to know the boat and how she operates.

What does 3 beeps mean and is there a chart somewhere indicating what all the different beeps mean?

Now, for extra special bonus points...does the VP Easy Connect device and app identify the problem when an alarm sounds?

I'm not 100% sure, on my 2002 VP, I remember it beeping before start. I always assumed it was to let you know the beep system was working, or a low oil PSI (since engine is not running), it always did it since new. Somewhat like in older cars when you turn the key forward, all the dash lights would light up until started.

Is my question out in left field? I assume if there are beeps pre-start there must be other beep(s) sequence(s) for other reasons. Anybody have a resource identifying what different beeps mean?

I don't have a resource to identify the beeps, but '04 250 has done the same each time I've turned the ignition key to start the engine. I've always assumed the beeps were much like those in a car when the ignition is turned and all the lights and any beeps occur. If mine ever stopped beeping before starting, I might be concerned like I'd be if the check-engine light stayed illuminated in my truck or car.
