New alarm messages
The word NEW in the RECENT ALARMS box tells you that the
alarm shown hasn't been "cleared" yet (see "Clearing alarms"
below). There may also be other uncleared alarms.
Recent alarm messages
The 958 keeps a record of the one most recent alarm from
each main category (anchor, avoidance, communications,
cross track, and waypoints). This lets you "browse" through
the older alarm messages. Each successive press of the CLEAR
ALARM menu key will show you the most recent alarm
message from each category.
Clearing an alarm means removing the flashing alarm icon as
Clearing alarms
well as the word NEW from the display of that alarm on the
ALARMS screen. To manually clear an alarm (or to see other
alarms that may need clearing), press the CLEAR ALARM key
on the ALARMS screen.
