Important information and warnings!
The active radar scanner radiates powerful RF energy. Continuous exposure
to RF energy may cause harmful effects to the human body. It also causes
Cardiac Pacemaker to malfunction. A person who uses a Cardiac Pacemaker
should under no circumstances be exposed to RF radiation. Most countries
accept that RF power density levels below 100 W/m
hazard. Please read the Safety Notices on the next page.

For first time users of Radar, we have included a basic description of the radar presentation with a basic understanding of how the controls affect the radar’s operation and display. The following paragraphs describe the control settings used for initial display setup, turn-on procedure, inclement weather operation and finally the turn off procedure.

    Chapter 3-2 Radar menu 3.1.1 Orientation In the Head Up mode, the heading line always appears on the screen at 0° relative according to the on-screen bearing scale, and is coin- cident with the antenna beam passing the ship’s bow. Thus the top of the displayed picture represents the direction in which the ship is heading.

    Chapter 3-4 Radar menu Overhead cable crossings can mimic a moving target on your radar screen. The cable target can appear to be on a collision course. The entire length of cable does not appear on the screen, only a point on the cable, and that point keeps changing giving the illusion of a moving target.

  • Page 25: Sea Return

    Radar menu Chapter 3-5 3.1.6 Sea return Not all radar echoes are produced by hard navigation items such as boats, buoys and land. Some radar echoes may be received from irregularities on the surface of the water, particularly at close range by breaking wavecrests, particularly in windy weather and in heavy seas.

    Chapter 3-6 Radar menu present. Darker sectors indicate possible shadowed areas. This infor- mation should be posted near the display unit, and operators must be alert for objects in these blind sectors. 3.1.9 Side lobes Echoes on the radar screen are not always the direct returns to the radar antenna.

  • Page 27: False Echoes

    Radar menu Chapter 3-7 3.1.11 False echoes Occasionally, echoes may appear on the screen at positions where there is no actual target. This type of target is called a False Echo. Sometimes they are known as Ghost Images, Indirect Echoes or Multiple Echoes depending on how they are generated.
