Alarms
You unit has three alarms: Arrival Alarm, Off Course Alarm and An- chor Alarm. You can turn the alarms off and on and change their dis- tance settings.
You can set an arrival alarm to flash a warning message and sound a tone when you cross a preset distance from a waypoint. If, for example, you have the arrival alarm set to 0.1 mile, then the alarm will flash a message when you come within 0.1 mile of the recalled waypoint.
The off course alarm warns you when your track drifts too far to the right or left of the course line to the waypoint. If, for example, the alarm is set to 0.1 mile, then the alarm flashes a message if you drift 0.1 of a mile or more to the right or left of the line to the waypoint.
The anchor alarm is triggered when you drift outside of a preset radius. If, for example, you are anchored and your boat moves more than 0.1 mile, the alarm will flash a message and sound a tone.
