This radar can acquire and track a maximum of 100 targets. The number of automat-
ically and manually acquired targets is determined by the setting of [TT SELECT] in

A target just acquired automatically is marked with a dashed circle and a vector ap-
pears within one minute to indicate the target's motion trend. Within three minutes, the
initial tracking stage is finished and the target becomes ready for stable tracking. At
this time, the dashed circle changes to a solid circle.
