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.
