How to align the antenna heading
You have mounted the antenna unit facing straight ahead in the direction of the bow.
Therefore, a small but conspicuous target dead ahead visually should appear on the
heading line (zero degrees).
In practice, you will probably observe some small bearing error on the display because
of the difficulty in achieving accurate initial positioning of the antenna unit. The follow-
ing adjustment will compensate for the error.
Select the speed of antenna rotation.
See "How to align the antenna heading" on page 9.
If main bang appears at the screen center, slide the circle
icon so that the main bang disappears, while watching the
radar echo at the left-hand side of the display.
Up to two sectors may be selected for blanking (no trans-
mission). Select [ON] to enable this feature. Set the start
and end angles (0° to 359°).
Referring to the figure on the right, enter the
radar antenna positioning bow-stern (Longitu-
dinal) and port-starboard (Lateral) position
from the origin.
Select the height of the antenna above the waterline.
Display various information regarding the connected ra-
dar.
Select [1], [2] or [3], the channel where the interference
is smallest.
When selecting [ON], approaching targets within 3 NM
from own ship are automatically acquired by the Doppler
calculated from the radar echo.
Resets the radar selected at [Radar Source] to factory
default.
Resets [Radar] menu settings to default.
