You get warning of a hazard or a particular situation via in-built alarms which are
generated for the system as a whole or for individual applications. When an alarm

You can specify what alarms will operate and the parameters within which they will
sound, via the Alarm Setup Menu (see
Cancelling alarms

By pressing the ACKNOWLEDGE soft key, the alarm is silenced and any message box is
cleared. If the alarm has been generated by the chartplotter, the appropriate action is

• Although you can change the configuration of the arrival alarm, it cannot be turned
off.

appears from the screen.
• If an anchor alarm is silenced, but the alarm condition persists, the alarm is
repeated every 30 seconds
