When a tornado or thunderstorm warning is received, the system will generate a
watchbox alert:
Use the trackpad or rotary control to scroll through the report as necessary.
You can set the range for how close to your current position the watchbox must be to
trigger the watchbox alert. The range can be set to OFF; 50; 150; 300; 500 and ALL.
Units vary according to the configuration of your system.
Clearing the alert
To clear an alert, press ACKNOWLEDGE. The alert is removed from the display. The
watchbox warning can still be viewed via the Weather Reports soft keys
Note:
If required, you can switch off the marine watchbox alarm (via the Weather Setup Menu

ed in the database irrespective of the status that you have the alarm or show/hide feature set
to.
