Low Battery Alarm sounds when the input battery voltage is equal to or less
than the menu setting. The battery alarm will only sound for the battery that
is connected to the Fishing System. The Low Battery Alarm should be set to
warn you when the battery voltage drops below the safety margin that you
have determined.
Aux. Temp Alarm
(with optional-purchase Temp. probe or
Temp/Speed only)
Settings: Off, 33-120 [Fahrenheit], 0-50 [Celsius],

Aux Temp Alarm sounds when the water temperature from the
Paddlewheel/Temperature Probe detected by the Fishing System reaches the
Aux Temp Alarm setting, which is set in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius
[International Models only].
Temp. Alarm

Forexample,if the Temp. Alarm issetto 58degreesFahrenheit,andthewater
temperature falls from 60 degrees to 58 degrees, the Temp. Alarm will sound.
Similarly, if the water temperature rises from 56 degrees to 58 degrees, the
Temp. Alarm will also sound.
For example, if the Aux Temp Alarm is set to 58 degrees Fahrenheit, and the
water temperature falls from 60 degrees to 58 degrees, the Aux Temp Alarm
will sound. Similarly, if the water temperature rises from 56 degrees to 58
degrees, the Temp Alarm will also sound.
For example, if you are running a trolling motor (battery operated), you would
want to set the Low Battery Alarm to sound before the battery voltage drops
too low for it to be used to start your main, gasoline-powered engine.
