2-5 Simulate mode
Simulate mode allows a user to become familiar
with the Explorer 660 off the water. There are two
simulate modes:
In GPS simulation mode, data from the
GPS receiver is ignored and the Explorer
660 generates this data internally. GPS
simulation flashes at the bottom of the
display.
In sonar simulation mode, data from the
sonar transducers is ignored and the Explorer
660 generates this data internally. Sonar
simulation flashes at the bottom of the
display.
Otherwise, the Explorer 660 functions normally.
If both GPS and sonar simulation are selected,
Simulate flashes at the bottom of the display.
To start and stop Simulate mode, see section 15-14.
2-4 Alarms
When the Explorer 660 detects an alarm condition, it displays a warning message on the display, the
internal beeper sounds and any external beepers or lights operate.
Press ESC to clear the alarm. The alarm will sound again if the alarm condition occurs again.
The Explorer 660 has twelve user settable alarms (see section 15-8).
In addition, the Explorer 660 has a fixed alarm for loss of GPS fix.
! WARNING
Never have Simulate mode on when the
Explorer 660 is navigating on the water.
