Timers

The chartplotter reports the following alarms, that are set using the ALARMS 
key:

Arrival

Your vessel has arrived at the active waypoint: it has either

reached the arrival circle (the radius of which is specified) or,
has reached its closest point of approach (defined by a line
passing through the waypoint and perpendicular to the route
leg).

Off Track

Your vessel has exceeded the specified distance (maximum 

cross track error) from the active route leg.

Anchor

Your vessel has drifted from its anchor position (set when the

alarm was turned on) by more than the specified distance.

Countdown

The countdown timer has reached zero.

Alarm Clock

The time matches the specified alarm time.

The alarms are switched on or off, and the limits set, using the Alarms Set Up 
menu, accessed from the ALARMS key. 

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.
If an anchor alarm is silenced, but the alarm condition perstists, the alarm is 
repeated every 30 seconds.

All SeaTalk system alarms (except autopilot alarms) are received and 
displayed 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.
