2. Press the CURSOR PAD to select ANCHOR ALM.
3. Press the ENTER key.
4. Set the ANCHOR ALARM to ON if it's currently set to OFF.
5. Press the DROP ANCHOR key.
If your vessel moves outside the anchor-alarm radius, then for
the next 10 seconds, the anchor drag icon begins flashing and
the alarm automatically beeps (you'll hear the beeping only if
you've set the ALARM AUDIO to ON). The honk sequence
then starts for a total of 3.5 minutes: 1 second of honking
followed by 14 seconds of silence; 2 seconds of honking
followed by 13 seconds of silence; 3 seconds of honking
followed by 12 seconds of silence, and so forth, until the
honking is up to 14 seconds followed by 1 second of silence.
This 3.5-minute honk cycle repeats forever until you
manually clear the anchor alarm. This honk does not
automatically clear under any conditions. To clear the alarm,
press the STAR key to display the ALARMS screen, then press
the CLEAR ALARM key. You may also want to set the anchor
alarm back to the OFF setting.
Honking for all alarms
Instead of setting all alarms to only beep, you can set all
alarms to honk. This honking starts simultaneously with any
flashing alarm icons. After you set all alarms to honk, an
alarm causes the 958 to emit a sound for half a second,
followed by silence for half a second. This honking sequence
stops when the alarms either automatically clear or you
manually clear them.
To set all alarms to honk:
1. Press the CURSOR PAD to highlight HONK OUTPUT, then
press the EDIT ALARM menu key.
2. Press the CURSOR PAD to select ALL ALARMS, then press
the ENTER key.
3. Set the ALARM AUDIO to ON if it's currently off.
