Reference:
•
When a dangerous target ship is lost, a lost alarm is issued and the symbol changes to a lost symbol. The
system calculates the current position from the last-received data and continues displaying the symbol for a
maximum of one minute. If the system cannot receive any data within one minute or the ALARM ACK
switch is pressed, the symbol is cleared.
•
When a safe target ship is lost, the system does not issue a lost alarm, display a lost symbol, or calculate the
current position.
