The "5" is
your starting location. This was
your position when
you
recalled
the
waypoint.
The
flashing circle with a cross is
your present position.
The
"flag" with a number inside is the destination (recalled waypoint). The
number inside the
flag is the recalled waypoint number. In this example,
waypoint number 10 is the destination. The dotted line isthe
shortest, most
direct course from the
starting point
to the destination. Follow this line to
get
to the waypoint.
An arrival alarm can be set to
sound atone when
you
come within a
preset
distance to the
destination. See the section on alarms for more information
about the arrival alarm.
PLO1TER MENUS
Pressing
the MENU key while the plotter displays gives you
a new set of
menus that relate
only
to the
plotter. There are two
pages of
plotter
menus.
DEPTH ALARMS
The
depth alarms sound atone
when the bottom signal goes
shallower than the shallow
alarm's setting or
deeper than
the deep alarm's setting. For
example, if
you
set the shallow
alarm to ten
feet, the alarm will
sound a tone if the bottom
sig-
nal is less than ten feet. It will
continuetosound until
you
mute
it or until the bottom goes
deeper
than 10 feet. The
deep
alarm works
just
the
opposite. It sounds a
warning tone if
the bottom
depth
goes deeper than the alarm's setting. Both depth alarms work
only
off the
digital bottom depth signals. No other
targets
will trip
these alarms. These
alarms can be used at the same time or by themselves.
To setthe
depth alarms, first
press the
MENU key, then
press
the key
next
to the "Adjust Alarms" label. The screen on the previous page appears.
Now
press
the
key
next to the "Set
Depth
Alarms" label. The screen at the
top of this page appears.
To adjust the shallow alarm,
press thekey
next to the "Shal-
low" label. To adjust
the deep
alarm, press
the
key next to the
"Deep" label. Both alarms ad-
just identically. We'll use the
shallow alarm as an example.
Pressing the key next to the
"Shallow" label movesthe black
box from the "OFF" postion to
the number on the right side of
the arrow. Anew label
appears
at the bottom of the screen:
"CHANGE LIMIT."
Press the key next to that label. A new screen appears
as
shown atthetop
of the
nextpage. Usethe numbered
keypad onthe
right
side of the unit to enter the shallow
alarm setting. We used 10
feet in this
example.
