Setting up the Terrain Page and Alerts

The Terrain Setup page allows you to set levels for terrain alerts as
well as obstacles in or near your flight path.

Caution Elevation

Select the desired Caution Elevation. If the terrain or an obstacle
is within the Caution Elevation you entered, the GPSMAP 296
provides an alert.

Look Ahead Time

The Look Ahead Time for Terrain and Obstacle Alerts determines
the time when an alert annunciation (a pop-up window) occurs. For
example, if 120 seconds is selected, the GPSMAP 296 will provide
an alert 120 seconds before you reach the terrain or obstacle.

Alert Sensitivity

The three Alert Sensitivity settings (Terrain, Obstacle, and
Descent Rate) determines what level of alerts are annunciated. The
GPSMAP 296 defaults to High sensitivity, which annunciates all
red and yellow alerts at the time set in Look Ahead Time. Medium
sensitivity annunciates all of the red and the highest priority of
yellow alerts, and Low only annunciates red alerts.
