The document discusses the different anti-ice systems on the Boeing 737 including the engine cowl, wing and window anti-ice systems. It also covers the indications, controls and operational considerations for these systems.

The engine cowl anti-ice system uses bleed air to prevent ice buildup on the engine nacelles. The wing anti-ice system protects the leading edge slats. The window heat system prevents icing on the cockpit windows. Probe heat prevents icing on sensors.

For engine anti-ice, you would see the COWL ANTI-ICE light illuminated and the TAI indication on the CDS. For wing anti-ice, no aural or visual warnings are provided when operating normally. Window and probe heat systems also have discrete lights to indicate operation.
