Once you've set the anchor-watch alarm to honk, a continuous honking
sequence begins either when your vessel moves outside the specified
anchor-alarm radius or when the navigation source (for example, GPS)
becomes unavailable.
For this feature to work, the
ALARMS
screen (952) or
(951) must be set to
To set the anchor-watch alarm to honk:
1. Press the 67$5 key once to display the ALARMS screen (952) or
ALARMS & BACKLIGHT screen (951).
2. Press the &85625 3$' to highlight the HONK OUTPUT option, then
press the (',7 $/$50 menu key.
3. Press the &85625 3$' to select ANCHOR ALM, then press the
(17(5 key.
If the vessel moves outside the set anchor-alarm radius, then for the next
10 seconds, the exclamation point begins flashing and the alarm auto-
matically starts beeping (you'll hear the beeping only if you've set the
ALARM AUDIO option on the ALARMS or ALARMS & BACKLIGHT screen
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 fol-
lowed by 13 seconds of silence; 3 seconds of honking followed by 12 sec-
onds 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 for-
ever unless you clear the anchor alarm. This honk does not automatically
clear with the following conditions:
•
the vessel moves back into the anchor-alarm radius
•
you change the anchor-alarm radius
•
you select a new "drop anchor" position
•
you turn off the anchor alarm
