Turning the Radar On and Off

1.2.1

Turning on the radar

Press the [POWER] switch. The control panel lights and a timer displays the time
remaining for warm up of the magnetron, counting down from 1:30 to 0:01.
Further, the bearing scale, range, range ring interval, pulselength, and
presentation mode are displayed.
1.2.2

Turning off the radar

Press [POWER] and [STBY/TX] together.
Quick Start
Provided that the radar was once in use
with the transmitter tube (magnetron) still
warm, you can turn on the radar into
TRANSMIT status without the one minute
and 30-second standby. If the power switch
has been turned off by mistake and you want
to restart the radar promptly do the following:
1. Press the [POWER] switch not later than
five seconds after power-off.
2. After ST-BY appears, press the
[STBY/TX] key. The radar is restored
to full operation.
1.3

Transmitting

After the power is turned on and the
magnetron has warmed up, ST-BY
(Stand-By) appears at the screen
center. In standby the radar is
available for use at anytime - but no
radar waves are being transmitted.
Press the [STBY/TX] key (display unit
or remote controller) to transmit.
When the radar is transmitting, any echoes from targets appear on the display.
This radar displays echoes in eight intensity levels according to echo strength.
When you won't be using the radar for an extended period, but you want to keep
it in a state of readiness, place it in standby by pressing the [STBY/TX] key. This
will help extend the life of the magnetron.
