6.3 Alarms and Timers

Alarm Reporting

The chartplotter reports the following alarms, that are set using the ALARMS
key:
Alarm
Arrival
Off Track
Anchor
Countdown
Alarm Clock
The alarms are switched on or off, and the limits set, using the ALARMS key
menu.
When an alarm is triggered, the alarm buzzer sounds and a pop-up window
describing the alarm is displayed.
➤ To silence the alarm and clear the message, press any key.
If the alarm was generated by the chartplotter, the appropriate action is taken.
For example, following an arrival alarm, the next route leg is activated.

External Alarms

on the chartplotter. You can silence these alarms by pressing any key. No other
action is taken by the chartplotter except to silence the alarm.

cross track error) from the active route leg.
Your vessel has drifted from its anchor position (set when the
