NOTES:

All of the alarm messages always appear on all of the echo sounder’s screens. You won’t miss any alarms while displaying echo sounding data, and you never have to press any keys to view the current alarms (although you must press STAR to clear alarms that don’t automatically clear).

The SAVE and MOB functions always work normally. Moreover, on the 961/962, whenever you press either of these keys, the corre- sponding *SAVE##* or *MOB##* waypoints will be displayed automatically on the echo sounder’s picture, as well as on the CHART screen (after you press CHART).
