Altitude Alerting - Garmin G300 Pilot's Manual

altitude alerting

The Altitude Alerting function provides the pilot with visual and aural alerts
when approaching the Selected Altitude. Whenever the Selected Altitude is
changed, the Altitude Alerter is reset. The following will occur when approaching
the Selected Altitude:
• Passing within 1000 feet of the Selected Altitude, the Selected Altitude (shown
above the Altimeter) flashes for 5 seconds and an aural tone is generated.
• When the aircraft passes within 200 ft of the Selected Altitude, the Selected
Altitude flashes for 5 seconds to indicate that the aircraft is approaching the
selected altitude.
• After reaching the Selected Altitude, if the pilot flies outside the deviation
band (±200 Feet of the Selected Altitude), the Selected Altitude changes to
yellow text on a black background, flashes for 5 seconds, and an aural tone
is generated.
Turning the altitude alert tone on/off:
1) Press the MENU Key twice to display the Main Menu.
2) Turn or move the FMS Joystick to highlight 'System Setup...' and press
the ENT Key.
3) Turn or move the FMS Joystick to highlight 'Sound', and press the ENT
Key.
4) Move the FMS Joystick to highlight the Altitude Alert field, and select
'On/Off' by turning the FMS Joystick.
