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 au-
tomatically turned on if it is off.
There are two types of acquisition zones available, arc and polygon, however, AZ1
can only be set as an arc.
Note: The [AZ1] and [AZ2] boxes are not displayed when the setting for [AZ/ALR SE-
LECT] in the [TT•AIS] menu is set to [TARGET ALARM ZONE].
