structions for the MR-1000RII/TII.

EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS

The following explicit definitions apply to this instruc-
tion manual. 

PRECAUTION

R

NEVER

let metal, wire or other objects touch any

internal part of the radar.

R

NEVER

place the radar within the reach of chil-

dren.

R

NEVER

expose the display unit to rain, salt water

or any other liquids.

NEVER

connect the radar to AC or more than 42 V

DC. This will damage the radar.

AVOID

using the radar near any magnetic materials,

such as a loudspeaker or a large power transformer,
as this can cause distortion of the CRT display. 

AVOID

placing the display unit in excessively dusty en-

vironments.

AVOID

placing the display unit near heating equipment

or in direct sunlight or where hot or cold air blows di-
rectly onto it.

AVOID 

using the scanner unit in areas where the tem-

perature is below –25˚C (–13˚F) or above +70˚C
(+158˚F). 

AVOID 

using the display unit in areas where

the temperature is below –15˚C (+5˚F) or above +55˚C
(+131˚F).

AVOID 

using strong solvents such as benzene or al-

cohol for cleaning the radar, as they may damage the
surfaces. 

BE CAREFUL!

SART

signal may not be detected and may

not be displayed on the screen depending
on the 

SEA

RAIN

or 

IR

settings.

Follow the settings as below to detect the
SART signal on the screen.

q

Select the screen range between 6 NM
to 12 NM with 

[+/–]

. (p. 2)

w

Set the 

[GAIN]

as high as possible. (p. 3)

e

Set the 

[SEA]

to minimum. (p. 3)

r

Set the 

[RAIN]

to minimum. (p. 3)

t

Turn the 

[IR]

OFF.

y
