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.
