1.  OPERATION1-211.19 Target AlarmThe target alarm looks for targets (ship, landmass, etc.) in the area you set. When a target enters or exits the alarm area, audiovisual alarms are released.1.19.1 How to set a target alarm zoneThe following procedure shows you how to set a target alarm zone.1. Press the TARGET ALARM key to activate ALARM 1 or ALARM 2. Press the TARGET ALARM key to change the active ALARM between No. 1 and No. 2. The indication of the currently active ALARM is in a rectangle at the upper-right corner of the screen.2. Use the CursorPad to move the cursor to the position A and press the ENTER key.3. Move the cursor to the position B and press the ENTER key. The rectangle that shows alarm status indication at the upper-right corner of the screen disappears. (See figure below)Note 1: To set a 360-degree guard zone, set the position B in the same bearing as the position A.Note 2: When the target alarm zone is not within the range in use, the indica-tion"ALM1(or 2)_RNG" replaces "ALM1(or 2)_IN(or OUT)" in the alarm status area. (When the target alarm zone is within the range of full off-centering, the indication does not change.) Select a range which displays the target alarm zone.CAUTIONCAUTION· Do not depend on the alarm as the only  means to detect possible collision  situations.· Adjust the A/C SEA, A/C RAIN and GAIN  controls correctly so that the alarm  system does not miss the target echoes.Cursor+Target alarm zone 1(Length of dashand interval foralarm zone 2 arelonger than alarmzone 1.)ABAlarm statusALM1_INALM2_OUT
