Setting Up the Terrain Page and Alerts
The Terrain Setup Page allows you to set levels for terrain alerts as
well as obstacles in or near your flight path.
Caution Elevation
Select the Caution Elevation. If the terrain or an obstacle is within
the Caution Elevation you entered, the GPSMAP 296 provides an
alert.
Look Ahead Time
The Look Ahead Time for Terrain and Obstacle Alerts determines
the time when an alert annunciation occurs. For example, if 120
seconds is selected, the GPSMAP 296 provides an alert 120 seconds
before you reach the terrain or obstacle.
Alert Sensitivity
The three Alert Sensitivity settings (Terrain, Obstacle, and
Descent Rate) determines what level of alerts are annunciated. The
GPSMAP 296 defaults to High sensitivity, which annunciates all
red and yellow alerts at the time set in Look Ahead Time. Medium
sensitivity annunciates all of the red and the highest priority of
yellow alerts, and Low only annunciates red alerts.
