3.5.2 How to manually acquire a target
Acquire a target from the Control Unit
Use the trackball to put the cursor on the target you want to acquire. Push the ACQ
ACT key.
Acquire a target by the trackball module
1. When the target to acquire and the AIS symbol overlap one another, push the right
button to show the context-sensitive menu then select [Target Data/ACQ/ACT]
and [TT Only] to acquire the target.
2. Put the cursor on the target to acquire then push the left button.
The plotting symbol is drawn by a dashed circle during the initial acquisition stage. A
vector appears approximately one minute after acquisition. The vector indicates the
motion trend of the target. If the target is consistently detected for three minutes, the
plotting symbol changes to a solid circle. If acquisition fails, the target symbol blinks.
Note 1: For successful acquisition, the target should be within 24 NM (or 32 NM, de-
pending on initial setting) from own ship and not obscured by sea or rain clutter.
Note 2: You are alerted when the capacity of manual acquisition is 95% and 100%.
These alerts are Alert 524 (ALF format: 10190,5) "TT MAN ACQ 95%" and Alert 525
