[TRAIL] box shows current stabilization as "TRUE-G" or "TRUE-S". To change stabi-
lization mode, open the [SHIP SPEED MENU] menu and set [SHIP SPEED] to
[LOG(BT)] (ground stabilization) or [LOG(WT)] (sea stabilization).
4.12 Lost Target
A target is declared a lost target when it fails to produce data for six minutes or five
reporting intervals, whichever is the shorter. When this occurs, the target is marked

in the Alert Box. To acknowledge a lost target, press the ALARM ACK key, or use the
trackball to select the [ALERT] box then press the left button.
