Preferences 108Setting Alarms & BeeperIn Alarms & Beeper you can set how the beeper is used as well as turning various alarms onand off.Alarms that you can set:• Anchor - When you set the anchor alarm on, the eXplorist willalert you when it has moved a distance you have selected. Thiscould be used when you have anchored your boat and need tobe alerted if it has drifted from it’s anchor point.• Arrival - The arrival alarm alerts you when you have arrived tothe destination of each leg in your route or to a GOTOdestination. You will need to set the distance that you want tobe alerted. (Arrival alarms also use the speed you are travelingas a minor factor in computing when to provide the alarm. Ifyou have set the Arrival alarm to 250 feet and are traveling at30 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 orright of the plotted route. You can set a distance, left or right of the plotted route, thatwhen you exceed this distance you will be alerted by an alarm.• GPS Fix - The GPS fix alarm will display when you have lost your GPS fix for more than20 seconds.• Proximity Alarm - The proximity alarm is very similar to the arrival alarm except that itfactors in speed at a higher level than the arrival alarm. The proximity alarm has twoalerts. First, a short set of beeps when you are nearing the proximity alarm distanceselected 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 havebeen triggered since the eXplorist was last turned on.Note: When an alarm is displayed, press ESC to clear the alarm from the screen.
