SECTION 1

Function

Congratulations on selecting the JRC RADAR 1800 Color LCD system to
assist your navigation.
Whether you purchased this radar because of its compactness, power
economy, ease of installation, or long term reliability, one thing is certain;the
moment you turn on your RADAR 1800 Display you will know that you are
seeing a revolutionary new concept in Radar technology.
You are the proud owner of a radar system unmatched in the marine
recreational industry.
Radar signals are shown on a color LCD display with excellent graphic clarity
and detail.
A single glance at your Display will give you a complete and accurate 360˚
radar picture of other vessels, buoys and land surrounding your vessel.
By connecting with JRC's GPS/DGPS sensor, the LCD Display allows you
to continuously display latitude, longitude, scale division and track line of the
vessel in color.
Since the color of the vessel track line can be displayed in any color and
deleted when required, it can be checked at a glance.
In addition to track line, waypoints and transit point(convenient for marking
dangerous location, shoals and fishing spots) can be stored and diplayed in color.
The distance and bearing from the ever-changing current position to a
waypoint is displayed automatically.
Since displayed sea areas can be magnified, reduced or moved as desired, it
can be used for a number of application.
