ALARM
MUTE
When eitherthe shallow
ordeep
alarm
is
triggered,
an audio tone sounds.
A different
tone sounds for the shallow
than the
deep
alarm,
thus
letting
you
know
which alarm is
sounding
without
looking
at the unit.
Once a
depth
alarm is
triggered,
it
keeps sounding
until
you change
depth.
For
example,
if
the shallow alarm is set to 10
feet,
and
you
move
into and
stay
in water
that's five feet
deep, you're going
to
get
tired of
listening
to the
alarm
beeping
all the time.
To
keep
this
situation from
happening,
a new
label
appears
on the sonar
screen whenever
a
depth
alarm sounds. This
label
says
"Silence Alarm".
This turns the alarm's
sound off until it's
triggered
again.
