As a precaution, once you have designated a waypoint as an avoidance
area, the 941X does not allow you to navigate to it.
Once you have designated a waypoint as an avoidance area, the 941X will
alert you upon penetration of that area.
To set the audible avoidance area alert feature:
1. Press the STAR key once to display the ALARMS & BACKLIGHT
screen.
2. Be sure that the cursor arrow is in front of the ALARM AUDIO
option.
3. Press the EDIT ALARM menu key.
4. Use the up/down cursor keys to toggle the setting ON or OFF.
5. Press ENTER to make your selection, or CLEAR to leave it un-
changed.
(NOTE: If you do not want to be notified of any other navigational
alarms, set the ANCHOR DRAG, CROSS TRACK, ARRIVE RADIUS,
and DGPS alarms to OFF. The audible alert will now only beep when you
enter an avoidance area.)
The 941X's avoidance alarm is intended only as an extra added
safety feature to help make you aware of possible hazards. It
does not replace local knowledge, proper use of charts, the per-
son on watch, or any other aspects of good seamanship that are
required for safe navigation.
