Page 43: Presentation Modes
1. RADAR OPERATION 1.12 Presentation Modes This radar has the following presentation modes: Relative Motion (RM) Head-up: Unstabilized Head-up TB: Head-up with compass-stabilized bearing scale (True Bearing) where the bearing scale rotates with the compass reading. Course-up: Compass-stabilized relative to ship’s orientation at the time of selecting course-up.
Page 44: Description Of Presentation Modes
1. RADAR OPERATION 1.12.2 Description of presentation modes Head-up mode The head-up mode is a display in which the line connecting own ship and the top of the display indicates own ship’s heading. The target pips are painted at their measured distances and in their directions relative to own ship’s heading.
Page 45 1. RADAR OPERATION Head-up TB (True Bearing) mode Radar echoes are shown in the same way as in the head-up mode. The difference from normal head-up presentation lies in the orientation of the bearing scale. The bearing scale is heading sensor stabilized. That is, it rotates in accordance with the heading sensor signal, enabling you to know own ship’s heading at a glance.
Page 46 1. RADAR OPERATION True motion mode Own ship and other moving objects move in accordance with their true courses and speed. In ground stabilized TM, all fixed targets, such as landmasses, appear as stationary echoes. In the sea stabilized TM without set and drift inputs, the landmass can move on the screen.
Page 47: Entering Own Ship's Speed
The ARP and azimuth stabilized presentation modes require own ship speed input and compass signal. The speed can be entered from a log (STW) or GPS (SOG) or manually on the menu. Note that FURUNO GPS Navigator GP-90 provides COG and SOG.
Page 48: Manual Speed Input
1. RADAR OPERATION 1.13.2 Manual speed input If the speed log is not working, enter speed manually as below. In this case the speed data type is shown as MANUAL and is speed thru water (STW). Note that, for the IMO specification radar, manual speed input is not available when the AIS feature is active.
Page 49: Choosing The Pulselength
1. RADAR OPERATION 1.15 Choosing the Pulselength The pulselength in use is displayed at the upper-left position of the screen using the indications shown in the table below.

Page 51: Adjusting The Sensitivity
1. RADAR OPERATION 1.16 Adjusting the Sensitivity The gain control adjusts the sensitivity of the receiver. The proper setting is such that the background noise is just visible on the screen. If you set up for too little sensitivity, weak echoes may be missed. On the other hand excessive sensitivity yields too much background noise;...
Page 52: Suppressing Sea Clutter
1. RADAR OPERATION 1.17 Suppressing Sea Clutter Echoes from waves cover the central part of the display with random signals known as sea clutter. The higher the waves, and the higher the antenna above the water, the further the clutter will extend. When sea clutter masks the picture, suppress it by the A/C SEA control, either manually or automatically.
Page 53: Manual Adjustment Of A/C Sea
1. RADAR OPERATION By trackball 1. Choose SEA AUTO following the procedure in paragraph 1.17.1. 2. Roll the trackball to place the arrow in the A/C SEA level indicator at the top of the display. 3. While observing the A/C SEA level indicator, roll the wheel downward to increase the A/C SEA or upward to decrease it.
Page 54: Suppressing Rain Clutter
1. RADAR OPERATION 1.18 Suppressing Rain Clutter Use the AUTO RAIN and A/C RAIN to suppress rain clutter. AUTO RAIN suppresses rain clutter in the picture and A/C RAIN suppresses clutter picked up by the antenna. 1.18.1 Turning AUTO RAIN on or off 1.
Page 55: Adjusting A/C Rain
1. RADAR OPERATION 1.18.2 Adjusting A/C RAIN The vertical beam width of the antenna is designed to see surface targets even when the ship is rolling. However, by this design the unit will also detect rain clutter (rain, snow, or hail) in the same manner as normal targets. The A/C RAIN control adjusts the receiver sensitivity as the A/C SEA control does but rather in a longer time period (longer range).
Page 56: Interference Rejector
1. RADAR OPERATION 1.19 Interference Rejector Mutual radar interference may occur in the vicinity of another shipborne radar operating in the same frequency band. It is seen on the screen as a number of bright spikes either in irregular patterns or in the form of usually curved spoke-like dotted lines extending from the center to the edge of the picture.
Page 57: Measuring The Range
1. RADAR OPERATION 1.20 Measuring the Range The range to a target may be measured three ways: with the fixed range rings, with the cursor, or with the VRM. Use the fixed range rings to obtain a rough estimate of the range to a target. They are the concentric solid circles about own ship, or the sweep origin.
Page 58: Measuring Range By The Variable Range Marker (Vrm)
1. RADAR OPERATION 1.20.2 Measuring range by the variable range marker (VRM) There are two VRMs, No. 1 and No. 2, which appear as dashed rings so that you can discriminate them from the fixed range rings. The two VRMs can be distinguished from each other by different lengths of dashes.

Page 66: Acknowledging The Target Alarm
1. RADAR OPERATION Note 1: If you wish to create a target alarm zone having a 360-degree coverage around own ship, set point “B” in almost the same direction as point “A.” Note 2: Two target alarm zones may be set. Note however that the 2 target alarm zone is available only when the 1 target alarm zone is active.
Page 67: Target Alarm Attributes
1. RADAR OPERATION 1.24.4 Target alarm attributes You may choose the echo strength level which triggers the alarm, the condition which generates the target alarm and the volume of the audible alarm as follows: 1. Roll the trackball to choose the MENU box at the right side of the screen and then push the left button.
Page 68: Off-Centering The Display
1. RADAR OPERATION 1.25 Off-Centering the Display Own ship position, or sweep origin, can be displaced to expand the view field without switching to a larger range scale. The sweep origin can be off-centered to the cursor position, but not more than 75% of the range in use; if the cursor is set beyond 75% of the range scale, the sweep origin will be off-centered to the point of 75% of the limit.
Page 69: Echo Stretch
1. RADAR OPERATION 1.26 Echo Stretch The echo stretch feature enlarges targets in the range and bearing directions to make them easier to see, and it is available on any range. There are three types of echo stretch, 1, 2 and 3, and the higher the number the greater the amount of stretching.
Page 70: Echo Averaging
1. RADAR OPERATION 1.27 Echo Averaging The echo averaging feature effectively suppresses sea clutter. Echoes received from stable targets such as ships appear on the screen at almost the same position every rotation of the antenna. On the other hand, unstable echoes such as sea clutter appear at random positions.
Page 71: Target Trails
1. RADAR OPERATION 1.28 Target Trails The trails of the radar echoes of targets may be displayed in the form of synthetic afterglow. Target trails are chosen either relative or true and may be sea or ground stabilized. True motion trails require a compass signal and own ship speed input.

Page 73: Saving, Copying Target Trails
1. RADAR OPERATION 1.28.4 Saving, copying target trails By turning on the functions TRAIL RESTART and TRAIL COPY, you may continue painting target trails whenever the range scale is changed. The amount of range change determines how the radar paints trails. See the table below for details.
Page 74: Trail Level
1. RADAR OPERATION The relationship between trail restart and trail copy depends on their status, as shown in the table below. Trail restart Trail copy Trail status Range changed while trail is ON: Trails continue on targets within previous range. Range changed while trail is ON: Trails within the previous range are erased and then trails are restarted.
Page 75: Longer Trails (B, C And W Types)

2. RADAR OBSERVATION 2.3.2 Showing SART marks on the radar display This radar is equipped with a feature which optimally sets up the radar for SART detection. This feature automatically detunes the radar receiver out of its best tuning condition. This erases or weakens all normal radar echoes, but the SART marks are not erased because the SART response signal scans over all frequencies in the 9 GHz band.
