1.4 Transmitting, Standby

After the power is turned on and the
magnetron has warmed up, "ST-BY"
(Standby) appears, indicating the radar is
ready to transmit radar pulses.
To toggle between transmit and standby, do
the following:
1. Press the [POWER/BRILL] key
momentarily to show the
brilliance/contrast adjustment window.

Brilliance/contrast adjustment window
2. Press the [MODE] key to go to standby
and transmit alternately.
Note: If you attempt to transmit before
"ST-BY" appears, the buzzer sounds and
the radar does not transmit pulses. Wait
until "ST-BY" appears.
3. Press the [MENU/ESC] key to close the
window.
When radar pulses are transmitted the radar
receive is automatically tuned. Echoes
appear in four levels of digitized video
according to echo strength. When a target is
beneath a marker (VRM, EBL, heading line,
range ring) the part of the marker where the
target lies is displayed in reverse video.
Note: This can be done with the
above-mentioned procedure or the PROG
key if it is so programmed. For detail, see
1.26 "PROG Key".
