12.3.4 How to use the Alert parameters page
The [Alert Parameters] page lets you define conditions along a route for which you
want to be alerted, by visual or audible indication. Put a red circle to get a visual alert
(highlight the corresponding areas in red on the chart) and an aural alert. Put a yellow
circle to get a visual alert. You can choose the safety contour and chart alerts used to
check the safety of the route. This allows you to check the safety with conditions dif-
ferent from those chosen for system use. This is useful when making a route for dif-
ferent loading or sailing conditions.
