MOBILARM PTX

PTX is the personal transponder device that is worn by the crew. If a PTX is
disconnected from the system a man over-board alarm is raised. So a MOB Waypoint
appears on the chart plotter display. In the following for brevity this MOB Waypoint
position is called PTX.
Activating navigation to PTX pay attention and don't get too near the man-
overboard (don't knock the man down!).

6.3.1 PTX is received

When a PTX has beeen received, the PTX data are saved on the chart plotter
memory and the PTX icon appears on the map:
All menus and/or pages are closed and the chart is centered on the PTX received
position. The Audible Alarm starts beeping and a pop-up warning window appears
to notify that a PTX has been received:
It is possible to navigate to the received PTX (see Par. 6.4.2) and open the
MOBILARM PTX List page (see Par. 6.4.3). Both Goto and List functions also mute
the Audible Alarm.
NOTE The List function is active if more than one PTX is store.

6.3.2 PTX is received again

When PTX has beeen received again, it is already present on the chart plotter
memory.
