How To Adjust The Display Brilliance (Furuno Monitor); Manual Brilliance Adjustment - Furuno FCR-21x9-BB Operator's Manual

1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
Note: If the ambient temperature is less than 0°C (32°F) when the power is applied,
nothing appears on the display and the Status LED on the Control Unit flashes. This
is because the heater is warming the unit. The display appears in approx. two minutes.
How to power off the system
Press the power switch on the Processor Unit or a Control Unit. Push the Mains switch
for the "O" position.
Note: Provided that the radar was once in use with the transmitter tube (magnetron)
still warm, you can put the radar in transmit state without three minutes of warm-up. If
the Power switch was turned off by mistake or the like and you wish to restart the radar
promptly, turn on the Power switch not later than 10 seconds after power-off.
