Chapter 3: Advanced Operation
27
If you wish to set the Watch mode, the WATCH screen must be con-
figured as one of the Data Pages for display, as described in section 5.1.
To set and control the Watch alarm:
1. Select Auto, Track or Vane mode.
2. Press the disp key until the WATCH Data Page is displayed.
• The watch timer starts counting.
• When the timer reaches 3 minutes, the text on the display starts
flashing to indicate the last minute of Watch alarm.
• When the timer reaches 4 minutes, the audible Watch alarm is
activated.
3. Press auto at any time to silence the alarm and reset the timer to
4 minutes. (Pressing any other key resets the timer and performs
the key’s normal function).
4. To clear Watch mode, press disp to display a different page, or
press standby.
Note: You cannot engage Auto mode from Watch mode – pressing
auto only resets the Watch timer.
Shallow alarm
SHALLOW
The Shallow alarm is activated on the ST5000 Plus if a shallow depth
alarm is received via SeaTalk.
• Press disp to cancel the alarm.
Man overboard (MOB)
If a man overboard (MOB) message is received from another
instrument on the SeaTalk system, the text MOB is shown instead of the
waypoint number for the XTE, DTW and BTW Data Pages.
If the autopilot is operating in Track mode, the Waypoint Advance
alarm will sound to notify the change in waypoint.
