If you turn off all sound you will have no
audible warnings. Without audible warnings
you could inadvertently find yourself in
potentially hazardous situations which could
result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Serious injury or death may result from failing
to immediately respond to alarms provided by
the Aladin Sport.

All settings can be checked and changed
directly on the Aladin Sport or by using
LogTRAK and a PC.
