AQUAMAP™ 10x2/12x2 SERIES

Clutter caused by choppy sea conditions.

NOTE: 

Not all options and settings are available on all radar and AQUAMAP 

models.

From a radar screen or the radar overlay, select 

MENU 

Sea Clutter

.

Select 

Presets 

or 

Auto

.

Select a setting that reflects the present sea conditions.

When using a compatible radar model, the AQUAMAP adjusts the sea clutter 

based on the sea conditions automatically.

Adjusting Sea Clutter on the Radar Screen Manually 

You can adjust the appearance of clutter caused by choppy sea conditions. 

The sea clutter setting affects the appearance of nearby clutter and targets 

more than it affects the appearance of distant clutter and targets. A higher sea 

clutter setting reduces the appearance of clutter caused by nearby waves, but 

it can also reduce or eliminate the appearance of nearby targets.

From a radar screen or the radar overlay, select 

MENU 

Sea Clutter

.

Turn the knob

 

to adjust the appearance of sea clutter until other targets 

are clearly visible on the radar screen.

 

Clutter caused by sea conditions may still be visible.

Adjusting Rain Clutter on the Radar Screen

The radar antenna’s vertical beamwidth is designed to see the water 

surface’s targets even during the vessel is rolling. By this design the radar 

also will detect the rain clutter such as rain, snow and hail etc in the same 

manner as the normal targets.
You can adjust the appearance of Rain Clutter caused by rain. Reducing the 

radar range also can minimize rain clutter.
The rain clutter setting affects the appearance of nearby rain clutter and 

targets more than it affects the appearance of distant rain clutter and targets. 

A higher rain clutter setting reduces the appearance of clutter caused by 

nearby rain, but it can also reduce or eliminate the appearance of nearby 

targets.

From a radar screen, select 

MENU 

Radar Options 

Rain Clutter

.

Turn the knob

 

to decrease or increase the appearance of nearby rain 

clutter until other targets are clearly visible on the radar screen.

 

Clutter caused by rain may still be visible.

Reducing Cross Talk Clutter on the Radar Screen 

You can reduce the appearance of clutter caused by interference from 

another nearby radar source, when the cross talk reject setting is on.
