    1.2 Turning the Remote Display On/Off The [POWER] key turns the remote display on/off. 1.3 TX Key The [TX] key functions to toggle the radar picture and stand-by condition. Note that the remote display cannot control the transmit and standby functions of the radar. The main radar and remote display do not operate jointly unless a key among RANGE, GAIN or STC is operated.
  • Page 11: Indications And Markers

    Watchman The watchman feature, disabled or enabled at the main radar, periodically transmits pulses to check for targets in the guard zone. For further details, see the Operator’s Manual for the main radar. The indication “WATCHMAN” appears on the remote display and main radar when watchman is active.
  • Page 12: Selecting The Range

    1.7 Selecting the Range The range selected automatically determines the range ring interval, the number of range rings and pulse repetition rate. Press the [+] or [-] key to select a range. The range and range ring interval appear at the top left-hand corner on the screen.
  • Page 13: Suppressing Rain Clutter

    A common mistake is too over-adjust the [STC] key so that the surface clutter is completely removed. By setting up for maximum STC effect, you will see how dangerous this can be; a dark zone will be created near the center of the screen, causing a loss of close-in targets.
  • Page 14: Range Rings

    1.11 Range Rings The range rings are the concentric circles around own ship and they provide an estimate of target range. The selected range scale automatically determines the number of rings and their interval is displayed at the upper-left-hand corner on the screen.
  • Page 15: Measuring The Bearing

    1.15 Measuring the Bearing The bearing to a target can be measured by the cursor (see paragraph 1.12) and by the EBL (Electronic Bearing Line). Measuring bearing by the EBL 1. Press the [EBL] key to turn on the EBL. 2.

  • Page 19: Echo Stretch

    1.23 Echo Stretch On long ranges target echoes tend to shrink in the range direction, making them difficult to see. On short and medium ranges such as 1.5, 3 and 6 nm range scales, the same sized targets get smaller on screen as they approach own ship.
