3.7 Guard Alarm
The guard alarm allows the operator to set
the desired range and bearing for a guard
zone. When ships, islands, landmasses, etc.
violate the guard zone an audible alarm
sounds and the offending target blinks to call
the operator’s attention.
The guard alarm is a useful anti-collision
aid, but does not relieve the operator of the
responsibility to also keep a visual lookout
for possible collision situations. The alarm
should never be used as the sole means
for detecting possible collision situations.
CAUTION

The guard alarm can be set to sound when a
