Alarms
Alarms alert you to a situation or hazard requiring your attention.
You can set up alarms to alert you to certain conditions, such as
collision warnings and temperature limits.
Alarms are raised by system functions, and also external equipment
connected to your multifunction display.
When an alarm sounds a message dialog is displayed on your
multifunction display and any networked displays. The dialog states
the reason for the alarm.
You can configure the behavior of certain alarms by selecting the
Edit option on the message dialog or by using the Alarms menu,
accessible from the homescreen via the Set-Up icon.

Man overboard

If you lose a person or object overboard, you can use the Man
Overboard (MOB) function to mark the position that the vessel was
at when the MOB function was activated.
The MOB function is available at all times, regardless of which
application is running. MOB can be set to Dead Reckoning or
Position mode. Dead Reckoning mode will take into consideration
the effects of wind and tides. This usually provides a more accurate
course. Position mode does not take these factors into account.
To obtain a MOB position, your multifunction display must have
a GPS position fix. Alternatively, if you're using dead reckoning,
heading and speed data must be available.
When MOB is activated:
• An audible MOB alarm is sounded.
• An MOB alarm dialog box is displayed.
• The system sends MOB alarms to other Raymarine equipment.
