Use the Terrain Setup Menu to set levels for terrain alerts as well as obstacles in or near your flight path. • Caution Elevation-The aera will provide an alert if the terrain or obstacle is within the default Caution Elevation or user-defined Caution Elevation • Look Ahead Time-Determines the maximum time when an alert annunciation occurs. For example, if 120 seconds is selected, the aera provides 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 aera 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. 98 Garmin aera 500 Series Pilot's Guide 190-01117-02 Rev. A Appendices Index
