Chapter 2: General Operation 27
Silencing a MOB
To temporarily silence the alarm from a MOB, press any key on any instrument on the
SeaTalk system. After approximately 10 seconds the alarm will sound once more if the
state of MOB is still active.
Silencing an alarm will not deactivate or clear the MOB state.
Clearing a MOB
To clear a MOB and its data:
Once cleared, your chart and radar
applications will return to the motion
mode that applied prior to the MOB
alarm and the GOTO and route functions
will once more be available.
Note: Alternately if you have a MOB key-
pad fitted, press and hold the MOB key.
Alarms
You get warning of a hazard or a particular situation via in-built alarms which are
generated for the system as a whole or for individual applications. When an alarm
sounds, a message box is displayed explaining the cause of the alarm.
You can specify what alarms will operate and the parameters within which they will
sound, via the Alarm Setup Menu (see
page 187
).
Cancelling alarms
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.
Please note:
• Although you can change the configuration of the arrival alarm, it cannot be turned
off.
• To cancel a MOB alarm, press and hold the WPTS/MOB until the MOB symbol dis-
appears from the screen.
• 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 on SeaTalk 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.
