A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing - there are three warning levels associated with the EICAS. It is the "Master Cautions" that are inhibited from 80 Kts to 400' AGL. The "Master Warning" system inhibits the Fire Warning Lights and Bells from Rotation to 400'AGL. The EICAS still displays the fire warning message, only the audio and visual prompts are inhibited. [A fourth level provides Maintenance Messages, but only on the ground and if the system is interrogated.]
