Alarms Tab
Use the Alarms tab to define alarm settings. The Alarms tab is divided into three
sub tabs: System, Nav, and Sonar.
Alarm messages appear in red across the status bar or changes the appearance of
a data field if that field shows alarm-related data (for example, depth or voltage).
Press QUIT to acknowledge an alarm message. The status bar and data field
remain red while the alarm condition persists.
To set an alarm:
1. Use the ROCKER to highlight the System, Nav, or Sonar sub tab.
2. Highlight the field next to the alarm name you want set, and press ENTER.
3. Change the mode to the setting you want, and press ENTER.
4. Repeat steps 1–3 to set additional alarms, and then press ENTER when
finished.
System Alarms
Use the System sub tab to set alarms for the system clock, batteries, and GPS
accuracy.
The System sub tab contains the following 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 are using
for your system. The unit must be on for the clock alarm to work.
• Battery—sets an alarm to sound when the battery reaches a user-
determined low voltage.
• GPS Accuracy—sets an alarm to sound when the GPS location accuracy
falls outside the user-determined value.
