How to Set up the 
Radar Sensor

Before you can set up and use the radar sen-
sor, download and install the free application 
[Marine Radar] from the App Store. The appli-
cation is common to both the iPad and the
iPhone.

Set up the radar as shown in this section, in 
the order given.

An insert sheet requests you to attach the 
supplied SSID and password label to the in-
sert sheet. Attach the label to the sheet, and 
store the sheet in a safe place for future refer-
ence.

3.4.1

How to start the system

Power the sensor. Open your iOS 
terminal, then turn on the wireless 
LAN function (in the [Settings] 
menu) if it is not already on. Tap 
the [Marine Radar] application 
(see right figure, appearance subject to 
change) in your terminal.

The splash screen appears for a few mo-
ments, then the application tries to connect to 
the radar sensor, which normally takes no 
more than three seconds. If the connection is 
successful, the [Preheating] display appears. 
If the connection could not be made, an error 
message appears. Tap the [Search again] 
button to try to connect to the sensor. If the 
application cannot connect to the sensor, 
check to see if the wireless LAN function is 
enabled on your terminal.

After the preheating is completed, which 
takes approx. 90 seconds, the radar goes into 
standby. Tap the STB-TX icon at the top right 
corner on the display to transmit.
