3.5.16 Monitoring the heading of other ships (targets) [ALARM ACK]
A guard zone can be set for warning the invasion of other ships or targets.
There are two guard zone modes - one mode issues an alarm when a ship or target gets into the
specified guard zone, and the other mode issues an alarm when a ship or target gets out of the
specified guard zone.
Caution
●
●●
● The volume of the alarm is the same as the volume of the buzzer. Be careful
that if the volume of the buzzer is set too low, you may not recognize that an
alarm is issued.
●
●●
● The alarm does not always respond to all targets. Thus, the alarm should be
used simply as an auxiliary device, and the operator herself/himself should
monitor the heading of other ships and targets with her/his eyes and ears.
