ALARM FUNCTION 6

The unit has an alarm function to protect your ship from collisions. If other ships or islands, etc. come into the pre- programmed alarm zone, the function alerts you with an alarm. You can set the desired range and bearing for an alarm zone. While the alarm function is activated, the power save function turns the CRT OFF until an alarm is given, to conserve power.
