TERRAIN ALERTS & SETUP
Enabling/Disabling terrain alerts:
1)
From the Terrain Page, press the MENU Key to access the Page Menu.
2)
Turn or move the FMS Joystick to highlight ‘Disable Alerts’ or ‘Enable
Alerts’ and press the ENT Key. Disabling terrain alerts is only temporary.
Terrain alerts are automatically enabled when the unit is powered on.
Use the Terrain Setup Menu to set levels for terrain alerts as well as obstacles in
or near your flight path.

or obstacle is within the default Caution Elevation or user-defined Caution

an alert up to 120 seconds before you reach the terrain or obstacle
Alert Sensitivity• —The three Alert Sensitivity settings (Terrain, Obstacle, and
Descent Rate) determine what level of alerts are annunciated. The GPSMAP
695/696 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. ‘Low’ only annunciates red alerts. ‘Off’
disables the alert.
