If an alarm is triggered on one of the sensors an Alarm SMS will be sent to all master numbers to alert
you to the particular alarm triggered as well as other status information you may need. The alarm
looks identical to the Status SMS but at the start it will define the type of alarm it is.

and the Yacht Sentinel base unit. If an error is found the sensor it relates to may be inoperable or
unreliable, so it is recommended that you check your unit as soon as you can.

The tracking SMS will be sent to the user that requested it at the length of interval and total number
of messages defined when activating the feature. The text will include all the relevant status
information but focus on the latitude, longitude, SOG and COG so that you can effectively track your
boat.
To draw a chart of where your boat has been simply enter the latitude and longitude from the
Tracking SMS into any map or chart software (e.g. Google maps, Openseamap.org) and plot the
points between each set of coordinates.
