3. SETTINGS AND ADJUSTMENTS
Note: After completing the settings and adjustments, copy the setting data to a USB
flash memory, referring to section 23.2 in the Operator’s Manual.
This will easy allow restoration of setting data after the SPU Board is replaced, etc.
3.1 How to Access the Radar Installation Menu
The [RADAR INSTALLATION] menu has vari-
ous items for adjustment of the radar. To show
this menu, press the
MENU key five times while
pressing and holding the 1 HL OFF key.
Tuning initialization
Right click the [TUNE] button on the
InstantAccess bar then select [Tune Initialize] to
start initialization. "TUNE IN" appears during the
initialization.
3.2 How to Align the 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 must appear on the
heading line (zero degrees).
In practice, you will probably observe some small bearing error on the display because
of the difficulty in achieving accurate initial positioning of the antenna unit. The follow-
ing adjustment will compensate for this error.
