all clear

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'no danger' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'signal' is the second definition.
(all clear is a kind of signal)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for all clear that I've seen before include "Understood" , "ARP signal" , "without any ambiguity" , "safety announcement" , "no longer misunderstood?" .)
