DEPTH 1: Activation depth of the first alarm.

DEPTH 2: Activation depth of the second alarm.
DEPTH 3: Activation depht of the third alarm.

MODE:

(DESC - ASC - BOTH): Changes the alarm activation preferences.

DESC = Alarm activation at the preset threshold set during the descent only.
ASC = Alarm activation at the preset threshold during the ascent only.
BOTH = Alarm activation at the preset threshold in both descent and ascent.
