Before transmission begins, the message "Spinning Up" is shown while the radar
antenna reaches nominal rotation speed. After the message disappears, the radar
begins painting an image.

Understanding the Radar Display

The Radar Page shows a status bar along the top, user-configurable digital
navigation data down the right side, a Heading Line, and Range Rings. Soft keys
that allow quick access to radar functions and setting changes appear along the
bottom of the page.

Using Range Rings
Use the Range Rings to quickly determine the distance to a target. The lower-
right corner of the screen contains two scales. The scale value represents the
distance from the center of the radar display to the outermost complete ring. The
top scale represents this value. The bottom scale represents the ring separation
or the distance between the Range Rings. Use the RANGE keys to zoom in or
out. The tick marks on the Range Rings are arranged with major tick marks at 30
degree increments and minor tick marks every five degrees. The tick marks can
help in quickly determining the azimuth to a target.
Heading Line
The Heading Line is shown from your current position along the path of your
current heading.
