Before switching on the radar scanner:
• Ensure that:
– All securing bolts are fully tightened and the appropriate mechanical locking washers are in
place.
– All connections are securely made.
– All connecting cables and wires are secured and protected as necessary.
• Ask your local Raymarine authorized installer to check the installation.
10.2 Switch on & initial setup
Use the information given here in conjunction with the relevant information in your multi-function
display (MFD) documentation, to switch on, and to carry out the initial checks and setup tasks.
1. Press and hold down the power key of your MFD until the unit beeps.
The magnetron warm-up sequence should then start. When the warm-up is complete, the unit
should enter standby mode.
2. Use the appropriate option on your MFD to power on the radar scanner; refer to the MFD
operation instructions for information on how to do this.
3. If necessary, at the MFD:
• adjust the MFD brightness.
• change the default language settings.
4. Ensure that all personnel are clear of the antenna, then switch to transmit mode.
5. Carry out the radar operations described in the relevant MFD operation instructions and check
that all functions appear to be satisfactory.
6. Check the bearing alignment to ensure that targets appear at their correct bearing relative to the
boat’s bow. Adjust the alignment as necessary
7. Check the display timing before using the system for navigation.
10.3 Checking for interference
Post installation check
If you have installed any system aboard a boat or made other changes to the boat’s electronic
systems (radar, VHF radio etc.), you need to check before casting off, that all electrical systems
operate satisfactorily without any undue electrical interference, in order to conform with Electro
Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) regulations. To do this:
1. Ensuring it is safe to do so, turn on all electronic systems aboard your vessel.
2. Check that the electronic systems all operate satisfactorily.
