Guard feature has four different types of alert,

Geofence, Battery, Bilge Level and Engine Loop.

Geofence

Makes sure your boat stays where you left it.

The Geofence function notifies you if your boat gets hauled away without authorization, or if it simply drifts away from the docking place.

Battery

Get notified if your battery is disconnected.

Q Guard automatically switches to the built- in backup battery when power is lost, and continues to give you updates even without external power.

Bilge Level

Get notified if your bilge pump can not handle the water in the bilge — giving you a chance to get the boat before the water reaches compromising levels.

Engine Loop

The engine loop sets off a loud alarm and immediately notify es you if the engine is being stolen.

Each type of alert can be turned off individually in the Guard parameters window, opened by pressing the gear icon.

The Guard parameters window shows you what alert types are active and which will trigger the notification. Alerts can be turned off all at once by toggling Guard Mode off.

Press the upward pointing arrow to view

Guard Logs of past alerts. Press the Map

Button next to a Guard log entry to view more information about the alert.

The entries include the alert type and the location of the boat when the alert happened.

New entries are also created when alerts are turned off.

Alert types have three different color variations:

Orange - Warning

A warning can be related to Geofence not getting your boat’s actual location, due to

interference.

Red - Alert

Alert usually indicates an issue that would require your immediate attention.

Black - Normal

The normal state is where you want everything to be.

“In map view via Map Button you can press the drawer button in bottom right corner to share alert location or change the map mode.”
