How to align the antenna heading
You have mounted the antenna unit facing straight ahead in the direction of the bow.
Therefore, a small but conspicuous target dead ahead visually should appear on the
heading line (zero degrees).
You may observe a minor bearing error on the display. This is due to the difficulty in
orienting the radar accurately. The following adjustment will compensate for the error.

Antenna oriented to port
Antenna oriented to starboard
