Acquisition Zone

The acquisition zone functions both to alert you targets in a specific area and
acts as an automatic acquisition area when automatic target acquisition is active.
Any targets entering the zone will be automatically acquired.
When a target enters an acquisition zone, the buzzer sounds and the indication
TT NEW TARGET (or AIS NEW TARGET) appears (in yellow-orange) in the Alert
Box. The symbol of the offending target is red and flashing. Further, the AIS
display is automatically turned on if it is off.

Activating an acquisition zone

One or two acquisition zones may be activated. The No. 1 acquisition zone is
available between 3 and 6 nm and the No. 2 acquisition zone can be set
anywhere when the No. 1 zone is already in use. The TT/AIS acquisition zone's
lines are white and dashed so as to distinguish them from the radar target alarm.
The procedure below shows how to set an acquisition zone, using the example
at the bottom of the page.
1. Use the trackball to select one of the AZ (Acquisition Zone) boxes at the right
side of the screen.
2. Push the left button. The AZ box now reads "AZx SET."
3. Put the cursor on point A then push the left button.
4. Put the cursor on point B then push the left button. The AZ box now reads
"AZx WORK."
