4.1 Description of Alarms
There are eight conditions which generate both aural and visual
alarms in this unit.
Arrival alarm (waypoint arrival alarm)
The arrival alarm informs you that your boat is approaching a des-
tination waypoint. The area that defines an arrival zone is that of a
circle which you approach from the outside of the circle. The alarm
will be released if your boat enters the circle.
Anchor watch alarm
The anchor watch alarm sounds to warn you that your boat is mov-
ing when it should be at rest.
