In
Alarms & Beeper
you
can
set
how
the
beeper
is
used
as
well
as
turning various alarms
on
and
off.
Alarms that
you
can
set:
• Anchor -
When
you
set
the anchor alarm
on,
the eXplorist will
alert
you
when
it
has
moved
a distance
you
have
selected. This
could
be
used
when
you
have
anchored
your
boat
and
need
to
be
alerted
if
it
has
drifted from it's anchor point.
• Arrival -
The
arrival alarm alerts
you
when
you
have
arrived to
the destination of
each
leg
in
your route
or
to a
GOTO
destination.
You
will
need
to
set
the distance that
you
want to
be
alerted. (Arrival alarms
also
use
the
speed
you
are
traveling
as
a minor factor
in
computing
when
to provide the alarm. If
you
have
set
the Arrival alarm to 250 feet
and
are
travel i
ng
at
30
mph, the alarm will
sound
slighting before the
250
foot mark.)
• Off
Course
-
When
a route
is
active, the eXplorist computes
when
you
have
moved
left
or
right of the plotted route.
You
can
set
a distance, left
or
right of the plotted route, that
when
you
exceed
this distance
you
wi
II
be
alerted
by
an
alarm.
•
GPS
Fix
-
The
GPS
fix alarm
wi
II
display
when
you
have
lost
your
GPS
fix for
more
than
20
seconds.
• Proximity Alarm -
The
proximity alarm
is
very
similar to the arrival alarm except that it
factors
in
speed
at
a higher
level
than the arrival alarm.
The
proximity alarm
has
two
alerts. First, a short
set
of
beeps
when
you
are
nearing the proximity alarm distance
selected
and
second, a visual proximity alert
when
you
are
at
the distance selected.
At
the bottom of the display
is
a field that will display information about all alarms that
have
been
triggered
si
nce
the eXplorist
was
last turned
on.
Note:
When
an
alarm
is
displayed,
press
ESC
to clear the alarm from the screen.
