Sentry Mode
Sentry mode allows you to put the radar into timed-transmit mode, in which you can congure a
radar transmit and standby cycle to conserve power. You can also enable a guard zone in this mode,
which identies a safe zone around your boat and sounds an alarm when a radar object enters this
zone. Sentry mode works with all Garmin GMR model radars.
