1.32 Function Keys

The function keys work similar to the auto-
matic dialing feature on a telephone, playing
back control settings just as they were regis-
tered. Instead of manually adjusting controls
to set up for a particular condition, for ex-
ample, navigation in a harbor, you can have
a function key do it for you.
Each function key can be assigned a combi-
nation of particular radar settings that will be
most suited to a specPic navigation purpose,
and an adhesive-backed label (such as
OCEAN, COAST) is usually attached to the
keytop for easy identification of the assigned
purpose.
Presetting the function keys
The radar's internal computer offers several
navigation setups as outlined in the table on
the next page. For instance, you might want
to select RAIN as the objective of a function
key. Then, when you press that function key
the radar will be instantly set up to operate
under heavy rain conditions.
Each setup option defines a combination of
several radar settings for achieving optimum
setup for a particular navigating situation.
Those involved are interference rejector, echo
stretch, echo average, automatic anti-clutter,
noise rejector, video contrast, and enhanced
video.
