Basic Operation
‘Proximity’ tab
The ‘Proximity’ tab of the Points Tab lets you defi ne an alarm circle around a stored waypoint
position. The alarm circle can be used to help you avoid reefs, rocks, or restricted waters. Up to ten
waypoints may be listed with a maximum alarm radius of 99.99 nautical miles, statute miles, or kilome-
ters.
If a proximity alarm circle overlaps with an existing alarm circle, a ‘Proximity Overlaps Another Prox-
imity Waypoint’ message appears. Since the unit only alerts for one of the overlap points, use caution
when navigating in these areas. If you enter an alarm circle overlap, you are only alerted to the closest
proximity waypoint.
To turn proximity alarms on or off:
1. From the ‘Proximity’ tab of the Points Tab, use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the fi eld below
‘Proximity Alarm’ and press ENTER/MARK.
2. Select the desired ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’ setting and press
ENTER/MARK.
To add a proximity waypoint:
1. From the ‘Proximity’ tab of the Points Tab, use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight an empty line on the
Proximity List and press ENTER/MARK. The Find screen appears.
2. Select the desired waypoint or point of interest from the Find screen. With ‘OK’ highlighted, press
ENTER/MARK to select that point. (For complete information about selecting waypoints or points of
interest from the Find screen, see “Finding an Item”.)
3. The distance fi eld is now highlighted. Press
ENTER/MARK to begin entry of the proximity radius.
4. Use the
ARROW KEYPAD to enter a distance value (up to 99.99 units) and press ENTER/MARK.
