INITIAL SETUP

The radar antenna emits electromagnetic radio frequency (RF)
energy which can be harmful, particularly to your eyes. Never
look directly into the antenna aperture from a close distance
while the radar is in operation or expose yourself to the
transmitting antenna at a close distance.
Distances at which RF radiation levels of 100, 50 and 10 W/m
are given in the table below.

Before turning on the radar, be sure no one is near the antenna.
Prevent the potential risk of being struck by the rotating antenna, which
can result in serious injury or death.

For better results when using the target analyzer function, an appropriate time need
to be set in the [SMOOTH S/C] menu. When the time set in this menu is too long, the
landmass can be judged as approaching target and displayed in red while accelerat-
ing, decelerating or turning. If this symptom occurs too often, shorten the time in
[SMOOTH S/C] menu.
Note: Instability of COG and SOG can be larger when the [SMOOTH S/C] time be-
comes shorter. Set the time avoiding the influence to other navigational equipment,
such as GPS plotter and autopilot.
