1. OPERATION 1.19 Target Alarm The target alarm looks for targets (ship, landmass, etc.) in the area you set. When a target enters or exits the alarm area, audiovisual alarms are released. CAUTION · Do not depend on the alarm as the only means to detect possible collision situations. · Adjust the A/C SEA, A/C RAIN and GAIN controls correctly so that the alarm system does not miss the target echoes. 1.19.1 How to set a target alarm zone The following procedure shows you how to set a target alarm zone. 1. Press the TARGET ALARM key to activate ALARM 1 or ALARM 2. Press the TARGET ALARM key to change the active ALARM between No. 1 and No. 2. The indication of the currently active ALARM is in a rectangle at the upper-right corner of the screen. 2. Use the CursorPad to move the cursor to the position A and press the ENTER key. 3. Move the cursor to the position B and press the ENTER key. The rectangle that shows alarm status indication at the upper-right corner of the screen disappears. (See figure below) ALM1_IN ALM2_OUT Target alarm zone 1 (Length of dash and interval for alarm zone 2 are longer than alarm zone 1.) Alarm status +B Cursor Note 1: To set a 360-degree guard zone, set the position B in the same bearing as the position A. Note 2: When the target alarm zone is not within the range in use, the indication"ALM1(or 2)_RNG" replaces "ALM1(or 2)_IN(or OUT)" in the alarm status area. (When the target alarm zone is within the range of full off-centering, the indication does not change.) Select a range which displays the target alarm zone. 1-21 1. OPERATION 1.19.2 How to stop the audio alarm When a target enters (or exits) the target alarm zone, the target flashes and the alarm sounds. The alarm message appears at the bottom of the screen.
