2.26 Watch Alert
The watch alert provides a flashing visual alert at regular in-
tervals to remind you to monitor the radar picture for safety or
other purposes.
To enable the watch alert, open the [8 INITIAL SETTING]
menu followed by the [4 ALERT] menu. Select [WATCH
ALERT] and set desired watch interval. The [Watch] box ap-
pears at the bottom-left position. (The watch interval can also
be selected from the [Watch] box when the watch alert fea-
ture is active. Right-click the time indication in the [Watch] box
to show a drop-down list of watch intervals. Select a watch interval from the list.)
The timer counts down from the interval set (for example, "12:00") and when the time
interval elapses;
the buzzer sounds
the visual alert 500 “Watch Alert” flashes in yellow in the [Alert] box
the watch alert timer freezes at "0:00."
Stop the flashing visual alert with the ALARM ACK key on the Control Unit or click the
[Alert] box. If the alert is not acknowledged within one minute, the alert category
changes to “warning” (the Alert 500 flashes in red in the [Alert] box and the buzzer
sounds).
After the alert is acknowledged the count-down sequence is repeated.
If you silence the buzzer before the selected time interval is reached, the watch alert
timer is reset to the initial value and the count-down sequence is restarted.
