button.
The Alert Editor is opened, pre-populated with the parameters of the chosen Alert. See Section 8.1
for details of these parameters.
8.6 Setting the Vessel Operating Mode
The Vessel Operating Mode must be set on each DSM570. This is a potentially risky operation, in
that Alerts that are Active in the existing mode may be ignored in the new Operating Mode. The
DSM570 will warn the operator about these Alerts to minimize the risk. However, if the new vessel
status was transmitted to other Alert Sources that are unmanned, then the warnings would be lost.
For this reason, the Vessel Operating mode must be changed at each DSM570 or N2Kview, and
those alerts, which would be disabled, noted by the user.
The Vessel Operating Mode is set through the Alert Setup Screen.
Scroll Down
to the required
Operating Mode entry, press
Enter
and then use the
Scroll Up
/
Scroll Down
buttons to select the
new Mode. Press
Enter
to complete the operation.
