System Alarms
• Clock – provides an alarm for the system clock. Enter a time in the time fi eld and turn the alarm on
and off from the control fi eld 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.
• GPS Accuracy – sets an alarm to 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 specifi ed drift distance. Enter a value
in the distance fi eld and use the control fi eld to turn the alarm on and off.
• Arrival – sets an alarm to sound when you're a specifi ed distance or time away from a destination
waypoint. Enter a distance radius or time for sounding the alarm and use the control fi eld 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 specifi ed distance. Enter a
distance in the distance fi eld and use the control fi eld 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 specifi ed depth that is
too shallow or too deep. You must be receiving sonar data for this function to work.
• Water Temperature – sets an alarm to sound when the transducer reports a temperature either
above, below, inside or outside the specifi ed values.
• Fish – sets an alarm to sound when the unit detects a fi sh of the specifi ed size symbol(s).
*You must be receiving NMEA Sonar data or using a Garmin Sonar Module for the Sonar alarms to function. Fish Alarm will
only function while using a Garmin Sonar Module.
