How to Reduce Rain Clutter

Radio waves transmitted from the antenna and reflected by rain or snow appear in the
picture on the screen. Use the rain clutter reduction function when rain clutter masks the
targets. The rain clutter reduction level is adjusted in the similar manner as that for the
sea clutter reduction. The effect is not limited to the area around the own ship but for a
long distance. The higher the setting, the greater the anti-clutter effect becomes. You
can select [Manual] or [Auto] and also adjust the rain clutter reduction level from the
[ADJUST] menu.
Touch control:
1. Press the [ADJUST] key to open the [ADJUST] menu.
2. Tap the [Rain] menu to open the [Manual]/[Auto] selection box.
3. Tap [Manual].
4. Drag the slider bar of the [Rain] menu or tap [+] or [-] to adjust the rain clutter level.
5. Tap [x] on the title bar to close the [ADJUST] menu.
Key control:
1. Press the [ADJUST] key to open the [ADJUST] menu.
2. Select [Rain] with the arrow keys, then press the ENTER key.
The [Manual]/[Auto] selection box appears.
3. Select [Manual] with the arrow keys, then press the ENTER key.
4. Select the slider bar of the [RAIN] menu with the arrow keys, then press the ENTER
key.
5. Adjust the rain clutter level with the arrow keys, then press the ENTER key.
6. Press the MENU/ESC key to close [ADJUST].
Note: If [Auto] is selected in Step 3, the slider bar is disabled because the rain clutter
reduction level is automatically adjusted.
