How to Off-Center the Display

Own ship position, or sweep origin, can be displaced to expand the view field without
switching to a larger range scale. The sweep origin can be off-centered to the cursor
position, but not more than 75% of the range in use; if the cursor is set beyond 75%
of the range scale, the sweep origin will be off-centered to the point of 75% of the limit.
This feature is not available on the 96 nm range or in the true motion mode.
If the conning position is outside the effective radar display, some parts of the bearing
scale are not shown. For details, see section 1.48.
How to off-center the display from the control unit
1. Place the cursor at the position where you wish to move the sweep origin.
2. Press the OFF CENTER key. The sweep origin is now off-centered at the cursor
position.
3. To cancel off-centering, press the OFF CENTER key again.

Note: When the conditions shown below are met, off-center cannot be canceled. This
is because the radar antenna position is located at a position greater than 75% of the
effective radar display.

• Short-distance display range.
To cancel the off-center, select a larger range, then cancel the off-center.
