Alarms

The FCV-1150 has six conditions which gen-
erate both audio and visual alarms: bottom
alarm, normal fish alarm, bottom lock fish
alarm, water temperature alarm, speed alarm
and arrival alarm. (The water temperature,
speed and arrival alarms require appropriate
sensors.) When an alarm is violated the audio
and visual alarms are released. You can si-
lence the buzzer with any key. The visual
alarm (icon) remains on the screen until the
cause of the alarm is removed or the alarm is
disabled.
