How to Activate AIS Targets

When you convert a sleeping target to an activated target, that target's course and
speed are shown with a vector. You can easily judge target movement by monitoring
the vector.
Sleeping targets within an acquisition zone are automatically changed to activated tar-
gets and are colored red. See section 3.16 for how to use acquisition zones.
