I-Command Engine Warnings Option

[FredBoykin]

While operating my Evinrude I-Command gauge, in the SYSTEM SET UP menu there is a submenu for ENGINE WARNINGS. There I got the screen display shown below:

Q1: what does the notation "v1.111B Wrngs" refer to? I assume it is a version number.

The only warnings I had previously seen were LOW OIL and ENGINE OVERHEAT.

Q2: should this option be enabled?

The I-Command gauge user's guide doesn't go into much detail.

Return to that option in the menu and press the ENTER button. Describe what occurs next.

Q1: what does the notation "v1.111B Wrngs" refer to?

The notation "v1.111B Wrngs" sounds like a firmware revision number.

The option at the ENGINE WARNING menu is to either TURN ON or TURN OFF the function.

I assume safest choice is to select TURN ON.

Q3: why would I choose to TURN OFF the warnings?

Perhaps choosing TURN OFF warnings would allow the aural warning horn to be silenced until the problem can be remedied.

I assume safest choice is to select TURN ON.

I don't know how safety will be affected, but I cannot see any harm in enabling the engine warnings.

Q3: why would I choose to TURN OFF the warnings?

I cannot foresee a reason to disable the warnings. Again, I cannot see any harm in enabling the I-Command gauge to display ENGINE WARNING data.

ASIDE: to reduce glare and reduce reflections in the display surface, drape a black cloth over the display and over yourself when photographing the display.

Thanks for your comments. Appreciate the advice.

I have a question for you: what is the I-Command gauge firmware version?
