Alarms
The Northstar 6000i alerts you to condi-
tions that may require attention. Some
alerts are strictly informative, such as
nearing a waypoint, and some warn of
conditions such as loss of navigation
signals. The unit alerts you with a beeping
sound and a flashing symbol in the lower right corner of the screen. Many alarms
automatically clear themselves after a few
seconds. Others remain flashing until you
press a key on the
ALARM screen or until
the condition clears. See Alarms, starting on
page 138 for a listing of all alarms and the
meaning of each.
