Though most alarm conditions are “auto clearing” after approximately
five seconds, and do not require any user action, two alarms—
AVOIDANCE AREA
and
ANCHOR WATCH
—must be acknowledged
before the exclamation point can be cleared from the screen.
The most recent instance of an alarm type (waypoint, communications,
avoidance area, anchor and cross-track alarms) is retained in the 941X’s
memory. This is helpful for viewing those “auto-clear” alarms that you
may have been unable to acknowledge before the flashing exclamation
symbol was automatically cleared. Each successive press of the
CLEAR
ALARM
menu key displays the most recent message for each type of
alarm.
Four of the alarm controls are adjustable, as described below. To change
any of these, use the up and down cursor keys to move the arrow on the
screen to the control you want to edit. Press the
EDIT ALARM
menu
key. Use the up or down arrow keys to select the status you want, and
finally press
ENTER
.
The audio beep that alerts you to alarm conditions can be turned on or
off.
