Operation Modes

This chart radar has three modes:
1. The radar mode display looks like the traditional radar display.
2. The chart radar display combines radar with chart. (The chart radar mode is optional, and it does not meet the
criteria for navigation aid for Japanese flag vessels as defined by Japanese law.)
3. The ECIDS display shows ECDIS chart.

When chart radar mode can be used

There are some limitations when using the system in the "Chart radar" mode. Below are the conditions in which the
"chart radar" mode may be used:
1. Used range in "chart radar" mode is between 0.125 nm and 24 nm.
•
If you change from "radar" mode to "chart radar" mode when the range is 24 nm or less, the range is not
changed. And if range is more than 24 nm the system automatically selects the 24 nm range.
2. Presentation mode "course-up RM", "north-up RM" and "north-up TM" are used in "chart radar"
mode.
•
If you change from "radar" mode to "chart radar" mode when the presentation mode is "head-up RM", the
system automatically changes the presentation mode to "north-up TM".
