1.3 Turning Power On/Off

Press the [POWER/BRILL] key to turn on the
power. The unit beeps, the startup screen
appears, and then the equipment checks the
ROM and RAM for proper operation and
displays program number. The ROM and
RAM check shows OK or NG (No Good). If
NG appears, try to press any key except the

XX.XX = Program version no.
Startup screen
After the completion of the startup test, a
timer displays the time remaining for warm up
of the magnetron (the device which transmits
radar pulses), counting down from 1:00 to
0:00.
To turn off the power, press and hold down
the [POWER/BRILL] key (about three
seconds) until the screen goes blank.
Provided that the radar was once in use with
the transmitter tube (magnetron) still warm,
you can turn the radar into TRANSMIT
condition without 1-minute of warm-up. If the
[POWER/BRILL] switch was accidentally
turned off and you want to restart the radar
promptly, turn on the [POWER/BRILL] switch
not later than 15 seconds after power-off.
Note 1: In a cold environment the screen
appears "foggy" when the power is turned on
but is soon restored to normal condition.

on your display. The screen you see depends
on your system configuration and equipment
settings.

1.4 Transmitting, Standby

After the power is turned on and the
magnetron has warmed up, "ST-BY"
(Stand-by) appears, indicating the radar is
ready to transmit radar pulses.
To toggle between transmit and stand-by, do
the following:
1. With the power turned on, press the
[POWER/BRILL] key momentarily to show
the brilliance/contrast adjustment window.

Brilliance/contrast adjustment window
2. Press the [MODE] key to go to stand-by
and transmit status alternately.
Note: If you attempt to transmit before
"ST-BY" appears, the beeps sound and
the radar does not transmit pulses. Wait
until "ST-BY" appears.
3. Press the [MENU/ESC] key to close the
window.
When radar pulses are transmitted the radar
receiver is automatically tuned. Echoes
appear in four levels of digitized video
according to echo strength. When a target is
beneath a marker (VRM, EBL, heading line,
range ring) the part of the marker where the
target lies is displayed in reverse video.
