2.7 How do I get warning of a hazard?
You get warning of a hazard via in-built alarms which are generated for the system as
a whole and for each application. If an alarm is generated, it sounds an audible
warning and displays a message box on screen. This message box explains the cause
of the alarm.
You can specify what alarms will operate and the levels at which they sound using the
System Setup Menu, see
How do I cancel an alarm?
Display alarms
By pressing the ACKNOWLEDGE soft key, the alarm is silenced and any message box is
cleared. If the alarm has been 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 persists, the alarm is repeated
every 30 seconds
External alarms
If an instrument that is connected to the display generates alarms, these will sound on
your C-Series display accompanied by a pop-up message box. You can cancel these
alarms by pressing the ACKNOWLEDGE soft key. The alarm will be silenced, but no
other action will be taken by the C-Series display.
