Alarms; Arrival Alarm, Anchor Watch Alarm - Furuno GP-32 Operator's Manual

6. ALARMS

There are eight alarm conditions which
generate both audio and visual alarms:
Arrival alarm, Anchor watch alarm, XTE
(Cross-Track Error) alarm, Speed alarm,
WAAS/DGPS alarm, Time alarm, Trip alarm
and Odometer alarm.
When an alarm setting is violated, the buzzer
sounds and the name of the offending alarm
and the alarm icon appear on the display.
You can silence the buzzer and remove the
alarm name indication by pressing any key.
The alarm icon remains on the screen until
the reason for the alarm is cleared.
In some instances, multiple alarms may have
been violated. You can see which alarm(s) is
sounding by displaying the message board.
The keying sequence is [MENU] (once or
twice), MESSAGE, [ENT]. The message
board is discussed in paragraph 8.2
"Displaying the Message Board."
To disable an alarm, choose OFF as its
option, press the [ENT] key and then press
the [MENU] key twice.
