Alarms Tab— allows you to define the alarm setting for Anchor Drag, Arrival, Off Course, Clock, Shallow
Water, Deep Water, Battery, DGPS, and Accuracy.
System Alarms:
• Clock— provides an alarm for the system clock. Enter a time in the time field and turn the alarm on
and off from the control field menu. Remember to enter alarm times in the same time format (UTC
or local) you’re using for your system. The unit must be on for the clock alarm to work.
• Battery— sets an alarm to sound when the battery is reaching a critical state of discharge.
• Differential GPS (DGPS) — DGPS alarm will sound when the unit loses a differential fix.
• Accuracy — alarm will sound when the GPS position accuracy falls outside the user-set value.
Nav Alarms:
• Anchor Drag— sets an alarm to sound when you’ve exceeded a specified drift distance. Enter a
value in the distance field and use the control field to turn the alarm on and off.
• Arrival— sets an alarm to sound when you’re a specified distance or time away from a destination
waypoint. Enter a distance radius or time for sounding the alarm and use the control field to set the
alarm to ‘Off’, ‘Dist’ (Distance), or ‘Time’.
• Off Course— sets an alarm to sound when you’re off a desired course by a specified distance. Enter
a distance in the distance field and use the control field to turn the off course alarm on and off.
Sonar Alarms:
• Shallow Water/Deep Water— set alarms to sound when you enter an area of specified depth that is
too shallow and/or too deep. Enter a depth in the distance fields and use the control fields to turn
the alarms on and off. You must be receiving sonar NMEA data (pg. 76) for this function to work.
• Water Temperature— sets an alarm to sound when the transducer reports a temperature above,
below, inside or outside the specified value.
• Fish— alarm sounds when unit detects a fish of the specified size symbol(s).
To set an alarm:
1. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the desired ‘Alarm tab’. Then highlight the field below the alarm
name you wish activate and press ENTER/MARK.
2. Change the mode to ‘On’ (Dist or Time for the ‘Arrival’ alarm) and press ENTER/MARK.
3. Highlight the next field to the right and press ENTER/MARK. Then enter the desired settings and press
ENTER/MARK to finish.
4. To have an alarm sound until it is acknowledged, place a check mark in the ‘Persist’ field. Press ENTER/
