How to manually acquire targets

1. Press the CURSOR ON/OFF key if the cursor is not shown.
2. Move the cursor onto the target to acquire, then press the left button.
The plotting symbol is drawn by broken lines during the initial acquisition stage. A
vector appears in about one minute after acquisition indicating the target's motion
trend. If the target is consistently detected for three minutes, the plotting symbol
changes to a solid circle. If acquisition fails, the target plotting symbol blinks and
disappears shortly.

Note 1: For successful acquisition, the target to be acquired should be within 0.1 to
24 nm (or 32 nm, depending on initial setting) from own ship and not obscured by sea
or rain clutter.
Note 2: When the capacity for manual acquisition is reached, the message "TT TAR-
GET FULL(MAN)" appears at the screen bottom. Cancel tracking of non-threatening
targets if you wish to acquire additional targets manually.
Note 3: When a target being tracked nears another target being tracked, the targets
may be "swapped". When two targets acquired either automatically or manually come
close to each other, one of the two may become a Lost Target. Should this happen,
manual re-acquisition of the Lost Target may be required after the two have separat-
ed.

How to automatically acquire targets

Targets are automatically acquired when the TT mode is set to either [MANUAL
25•AUTO 25] or [AUTO 50] and a target enters the acquisition zone (see
section 3.10). The maximum tracking distance (24 NM or 32 NM) is set at installation.
