How to hide the heading line marker

The heading line is a line from the own ship position to the outer edge of the radar dis-
play area and appears at zero degrees on the bearing scale in HEAD UP mode. The
orientation of the line changes the orientation depending on the ship orientation in
NORTH UP and True Motion modes.
To temporarily extinguish the heading line to look at targets existing dead ahead of
own ship, press the HL OFF key on the keyboard, or use the Touchpad to select the
[HL OFF] box at the left of the display then press the left button. In addition to the
heading line, the stern marker and all graphics within the effective display are also
erased. To redisplay the heading line, etc., release the key or the left button.

How to set up the own ship symbol

The own ship symbol marks own position on the display. It can be turned on or off and
its configuration selected from the [MARK] menu. Two configurations are available:
minimized symbol and scaled symbol. If the largest dimension of the symbol gets
smaller than 6 mm, the scaled symbol will disappear and the own ship mark will be
shown as a minimized symbol. The scaled symbol is scaled to indicate the length and
beam of the vessel. Ship's dimensions should be entered at installation to use the
scaled ship symbol.
