The display
The display normally shows depth. If it displays
dashes (— —) then it means that the depth is too
deep or unknown.
2-3 Alarms
The Explorer D310 can be set to sound an alarm
when the water is too deep or too shallow (see
sections 3-2 and 3-3). When the alarm sounds,
the internal beeper sounds, the
symbol on the
display flashes and any external beepers or lights
operate.
Press to mute the alarm. The alarm stays muted
until the depth becomes normal. The alarm will
sound if the depth becomes too deep or too
shallow again.
2-4 Simulate mode
Simulate mode allows you to become familiar
with the unit off the water. In Simulate mode,
the Explorer D310 functions normally except the
transducer is ignored and the unit generates this
data internally. The word SIMULATE flashes at the
top, left corner of the screen.
To turn Simulate mode on or off:
1 Turn the power off.
2 Hold down
while you turn the power on.
