INITIAL SETUP

WARNING
The radar antenna emits
electromagnetic radio frequency
(RF) energy which can be
harmful, particularly to your eyes.
Never look directly into the
antenna aperture from a close
distance while the radar is in
operation or expose yourself to
the transmitting antenna at a
close distance.
Distances at which RF radiation
levels of 100, 50 and 10 W/m
are given in the table below.

For better results when using the target analyzer function, an appropriate time need
to be set in the [SMOOTH S/C] menu. When the time set in this menu is too long, the
landmass can be judged as approaching target and displayed in red while accelerat-
ing, decelerating or turning. If this symptom occurs too often, shorten the time in
[SMOOTH S/C] menu.
Note: Instability of COG and SOG can be larger when the [SMOOTH S/C] time be-
comes shorter. Set the time avoiding the influence to other navigational equipment,
such as GPS plotter and autopilot.
