Press the
the key until the screen turns off.
When you turn on the power, the initialization screen appears followed by the splash
screen. The ROM and RAM are tested and if those are normal, the standby screen
appears approx. 5 sec. later, and the time remaining for magnetron warm-up (approx.
90 seconds) is counted down on the screen. If NG appears as the result of the ROM
and RAM test, contact your dealer for instruction.

TX/Standby

After the magnetron has warmed, the indication [ST-BY] appears at the screen center.
The radar is now ready to transmit radar pulses. The standby screen is available in
two types, normal and nav (navigation data). See section 2.37.
To switch between TX and standby, push the
dow.
The cursor is selecting [TX/STBY]. Press the ENTER key to transmit the radar pulses
and put the radar in standby alternately. The antenna rotates in transmit and is
stopped in standby. Because the magnetron ages with use, set the radar in stand-by
when you are not using the radar, to extend the life of the magnetron.
Note: Power is supplied to the antenna unit even when the power is shut off at the
display unit. If the radar is not to be used for an extended period, shut off the radar
from the breaker.
