ALARMS

The chartplotter reports the following alarms, that are set using the ALARMS key:

Alarm	Indicates:
Arrival	Your vessel has arrived at the active waypoint: it has either
	reached the arrival circle (the radius of which is specified) or,
	has reached its closest point of approach (defined by a line
	passing through the waypoint and perpendicular to the route
	leg).
Off Track	Your vessel has exceeded the specified distance (maximum
	cross track error) from the active route leg.
Anchor	Your vessel has drifted from its anchor position (set when the
	alarm was turned on) by more than the specified distance.
Countdown	The countdown timer has reached zero.
Alarm Clock	The time matches the specified alarm time.

The alarms are switched on or off, and the limits set, using the Alarms Set Up menu, accessed from the ALARMS key.

When an alarm is triggered, the alarm buzzer sounds and a pop-up window describing the alarm is displayed.

➤To silence the alarm and clear the message, press any key.

If the alarm was generated by the chartplotter, the appropriate action is taken. For example, following an arrival alarm, the next route leg is activated.

If an anchor alarm is silenced, but the alarm condition perstists, the alarm is repeated every 30 seconds.

External Alarms

All SeaTalk system alarms (except autopilot alarms) are received and displayed on the chartplotter. You can silence these alarms by pressing any key. No other action is taken by the chartplotter except to silence the alarm.
