alarm in wind vane mode i-70

[dglaab]

I have an i-70 system and often use to steer in wind vane mode, which works well.....except for an alarm that goes off for wind direction change. It appears to be set at about 10 degrees, which means in variable winds (or when the boat is rolling hard) the alarm is continuously going off. Since I often open water solo, this is my preferred mode so I can sleep, but with an alarm going off every 5 minutes its a pain.
Is there a way to expand the gate or turn off?
Thanks
Dan
