Alarms - Raymarine p70 Installation & Operation Instructions

11.1 Alarms

Alarms are used to alert you to a situation or hazard
requiring your attention.
Some examples of alarms are:
• Anchor alarm — Used when anchored, this alerts
you to a change in depth which could mean that
the chain length requires adjusting.
• Depth and speed alarms — These alarms alert
you when your depth or speed moves outside of
specified limits, for example a minimum depth.
• MOB (Man Overboard) alarm — Received from an
MOB system.
When an alarm occurs, a message is displayed and
an audible alarm may sound.
