How to stop antenna rotation
Antenna rotation can be stopped using one of the following procedures:
• Turn the antenna switch off.
• Turn antenna rotation off from the menu (See installation manual).
Screen freeze
The screen is not refreshed if the screen has frozen. An audio alarm is released 30
seconds after a screen freeze. The ALERT ACK key flashes and a contact alert signal
is also released. To return the radar to normal operation, turn the radar off, then on
again.
Quick start
Provided that the radar was in use and the magnetron (transmitter tube) is still warm,
you can switch to transmit mode without the three minute warm-up time. If the radar
was turned off by mistake or you wish to restart the radar promptly, press the POWER
switch within ten seconds after the power is turned off.
