29 Alarms

The 8000i has various alarms that you can turn On then set up to suit your vessel. These alarms can automatically:

•

•

notify you of the vessel's status (for example, when you're approaching a waypoint)

alert you to potentially dangerous situations (for example, when you're drifting off course).

When an alarm is triggered, an alarm icon flashes in the top right corner of the screen and an audible warning sounds (unless you choose not to sound the audio). Depending on the type of alarm, the control panel area may be overlain by the Alarm Notification box.

If the alarm audio is set to sound, the alarm audio will sound once or continuously until you acknowledge it or it resets automatically. It will interrupt any other audio that is playing, such as the Music Jukebox.

The alarm is recorded in the alarm log so that you can see the details, acknowledge the alarm, and take the appropriate corrective action (see "View the alarm log" page 159).
