Alarms Submenu

The alarms setup page is used to set the two alarms available: arrival and CDI.

The arrival alarm will alert you when you are approaching a waypoint and have
reached the user-defined distance. The CDI alarm will alert you when your track
varies from the shortest distance to a waypoint by the defined range.

Setting the alarm to off, on, or auto:

1. Highlight ‘ALARMS’, and press ENTER.

2. Highlight the ‘off/on/auto’ field (82a) for the desired alarm, and press ENTER.

3. Change to the desiredsetting, and press ENTER.

Off— No alarm will occur.

On— The alarm will occur at the user-specified distance from the destination

waypoint.

Auto— The alarm will occur at one minute away (based on current speed, dis-

tance, and track) from each waypoint in a route or GOTO destination.

To set the alarms:

1. Repeat step 1 above, select the desired alarm distance field, and press ENTER (82b).

2. Enter the distance for the alarm, and press ENTER.
