ALARMS
This unit has three different types of sonar alarms.
The first is the Fish Alarm. It sounds when the
Fish I.D. feature determines an echo or group of
echoes is a fish. Another alarm is the Zone Alarm
which consists of a bar. Any echo that appears
inside this bar triggers this alarm. The last alarm
is called the Depth Alarm. Only the bottom signal
will trigger this alarm. This is useful as an anchor
watch, a shallow water alert, or for navigation.

DEPTH ALARMS
The depth alarms sound a tone when the bottom signal goes shallower
than the shallow alarm’s setting or deeper than the deep alarm’s setting.
For example, if you set the shallow alarm to ten feet, the alarm will sound
a tone if the bottom signal is less than ten feet. It will continue to sound
until the bottom goes deeper than 10 feet. The deep alarm works just the
opposite. It sounds a warning tone if the bottom depth goes deeper than
the alarm’s setting. Both depth alarms work only off the digital bottom
depth signals. No other targets will trip these alarms. If you turn the digital
sonar off, the depth alarms will be inoperative. These alarms can be used
at the same time or individually.
