DGPS alarm
The DGPS alarm will signal if you were using GPS or Phantom
loran fixes, but valid, usable beacon or WAAS differential
corrections haven't been received within the time limit you've
specified in the DGPS data time-out setting. To adjust this
setting, see "Choosing a DGPS corrections time-out" starting
on page 176.
To turn on the DGPS alarm, press the CURSOR PAD to
highlight DGPS ALARM, then press the EDIT ALARM menu
key. Press the CURSOR PAD to turn the alarm to ON, then
press the ENTER key.
You can set the 958 to honk, in addition to the beep, if a
honker has been connected to pin #14 on the interface
connector. Once you set the anchor alarm to honk, a
continuous honking sequence begins when:
•
your vessel moves outside the specified anchor-alarm
radius
- or -
•
the navigation source (for example, GPS) becomes
unavailable, so that it's unsure if you're inside the radius
To set the anchor alarm to honk:
1. On the ALARMS screen, press the CURSOR PAD to high-
light HONK OUTPUT, then press the EDIT ALARM menu
key.
