Humminbird NS 10 manual Using the NS10 in an Emergency

Page 62

In position 5 your boat has arrived at waypoint 08 and the arrival alarm has been silenced by pressing CLEAR. The size of the arrival alarm circle is controlled through the Select System. Pressing CLEAR to silence the alarm also commands the NS 10 to begin providing steering information to the next waypoint in the route.

The boat course is 356 degrees, but the course bearing is now 350 degrees.

When nearing your final destination, the NS 10 will continue to provide steering information to the exact waypoint, until the ARRIVAL ALARM is cleared.

Using the NS10 in an Emergency

In the event of an on-water emergency, the NS10 can be a significant aid to boater safety.

Should a crew member or any valuable object fall overboard, clear the cursor mode then press the P STOR key. This will accurately store that position as a temporary waypoint as discussed in section III. Creating Temporary Waypoints. (Refer to Figure 29) Make a mental note of the waypoint number assigned to the point at that time.
