Setting Up the Alarms and Timers

You can set up the following navigational alarms and timers:
Parameter
Arrival Radius Alarm
Off Course Alarm
Anchor Alarm
Danger Zone Alarm
Countdown Timer
Elapsed Timer
Clock Alarm

Alarms

All the alarms default to OFF. You can adjust the alarm settings to any
value, in steps of 0.01nm. All the alarms relate to a specified distance.
Note: The alarm limits are not displayed on the chart.
When an alarm is set OFF, it is disabled. When an alarm is set to a
value, it will be triggered when the alarm condition is met (see
Chapter 4).
The alarms settings have the following functions:
• Arrival alarm specifies the radius of a circle around the waypoint:
when your vessel reaches this circle (or, for intermediate waypoints,
a line perpendicular to the route leg) the alarm sounds
• Off course alarm specifies the distance from the route, at right
angles to the route, at which the alarm sounds
• Anchor alarm specifies the distance from the anchor position at
which the alarm sounds; you can only set this if a position fix is
available
