IMPORTANT ALARM NOTES:

Anchor Alarm - The anchor alarm may be triggered even when

you're sitting still. This typically happens when using small (less

than .05 mile) anchor alarm ranges.
Arrival Alarm - If you set the arrival alarm's distance to a small

number and you run a route (see the Navigate Routes segment),

this unit may not show navigation data to the next waypoint, once

you arrive at the first one, since you may not be able to come close

enough to the first waypoint to trip the arrival alarm.

Communications Port Configuration

The unit has one NMEA 0183 version 2.0 compatible communication

port, or com port for short. The Com Port Menu, which is accessed from

the System Setup Menu, lets you configure the communications port to

send or receive data to another electronic device, such as an autopilot.

The com port can be used for NMEA Binary data transfer.
