PLOTTER-RELATED ALARMS

9.1Arrival/Anchor Watch Alarm

The arrival alarm informs you that your boat is approaching a destination waypoint. The area that defines an arrival zone is that of a circle which you approach from the outside of the circle. The alarm will be released if your boat enters the circle. The anchor watch alarm sounds to warn you that your boat is moving when it should be at rest.

When the arrival or anchor watch alarm is violated, the audible alarm sounds and the

alarm icon and the indication ARR or ANCHR appear. You may silence the alarm with the CLR key. The indication remains on the screen until the cause of the alarm is cor- rected.
