If the 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 sound is output through any internal or external buzzers that are connected to the 8000i, and through the entertainment system speakers if any other audio is playing.

To set the audio for an alarm:

1.Select Alarms to show the Alarm Log.

2.Select Edit Alarms from the control panel. The 8000i displays the Alarm Setup box which lists the alarms that you can change.

3.Use the up and down arrows to scroll up and down the list of alarms and find the alarm.

4.Select the name of the alarm. The alarm is highlighted and the current settings are shown under each button in the control panel. Buttons that are not applicable to the selected alarm are shown in gray.

5.The Audible button shows the current setting. Select the button if you want to change the setting and the 8000i displays a drop down list. There are three choices:

6.Select the new setting. The new setting is applied immediately and stays until you change it again.

7.When you are finished, select Return, then select Return again.

29.6Set the delay for an alarm

You can change the settings for some of the alarms.

The 8000i reads the sensor data regularly and monitors this against the alarm trigger settings. Usually, the first time that a reading registers sensor data outside the trigger settings, the alarm sounds immediately.

You can use the set delay to tell the 8000i to ignore the alarm until it's been triggered a specific number of times.

For example, you can use set delay to ignore the Depth Alarm until it's been triggered ten times in a row. This avoids a false Depth Alarm created by a shoal of fish passing under your vessel.

To set the delay for an alarm:

1.Select Alarms to show the Alarm Log.

2.Select Edit Alarms from the control panel. The 8000i displays the Alarm Setup box which lists the alarms that you can change.

3.Use the up and down arrows to scroll up and down the list of alarms and find the alarm.
