shallow alarm will sound if the depth is less
than its trigger value and the Too deep alarm
will sound if the depth is more than its trigger
value. To turn these alarms off, enter a trigger
value of 0 (zero).
Icons for alarms that are on can be displayed in
the data header (see sections 2-6-3 and 10). An
alarm icon is normally black and turns red when
the alarm sounds.
