How to align the antenna heading
You have mounted the antenna unit facing straight ahead in the direction of the bow.
Therefore, a small but conspicuous target dead ahead visually should appear on the
heading line (zero degrees).
You may observe a minor bearing error on the display. This is due to the difficulty in
orienting the radar accurately. The following adjustment will compensate for the error.
[Antenna Length] Selects the length of the antenna.
RezBoost function reflects the selection of this menu item.
[Antenna Longitudinal Po-
sition] Referring to the figure on the right, enter the ra-
dar antenna positioning bow-stern (Longitudi-
nal) and port-starboard (Lateral) position from
the origin.
[Antenna Lateral Position
(-Port)]
[Radar Monitoring] Display various information regarding the connected ra-
dar.
[ARPA Advanced Settings] For service technician only. Do not change these settings.
This menu item is available when setting the radar in
transmit.
[TX Channel] Select [1],[2] or [3], the channel where the interference is
smallest.
[Target Analyzer Mode] You can emphasize rain clutter or target echoes when the
target analyzer is active. Select [Rain] or [Target] as ap-
propriate.
[Auto Acquire by Doppler] When selecting [ON], approaching targets within 3 NM
from own ship are automatically acquired by the Doppler
calculated from the radar echo.
[Hardware Factory Default] Resets the radar selected at [Radar Source] to factory de-
fault.
[Reset Default Settings] Resets [Radar] menu settings to default.
