1.7 Degaussing the Screen

Each time the radar is turned on, the de-
gaussing circuit automatically demagnetizes
the CRT screen to eliminate color contami-
nation caused by earth's magnetism or mag-
netized ship structure.
The screen is also degaussed automatically
at certain time intervals, which may be se-
lected on the menu. While being degaussed,
the screen may be disturbed momentarily
with vertical lines. If you wish to degauss by
manual operation, push the EBL rotary con-
trol (DEGAUSS control).
