.

 

Rotate the [STC] knob to adjust the sea surface reflection suppression effect.

 

The suppression fect becomes strong when rotating clockwise the knob and

 

 

becomes weak when rotating counterclockwise the knob.

 

This function reduces the gain at a near distance. If you turn clockwise the knob

too much, desired objects may disappear.

.

Adjust properly to meet the weather

condition.

Example of STC adjustment :

: The suppression

 

  is too weak.

: Optimum
  suppression.

The reflection from sea
surface is displayed.

The desired objects
are displayed.

: The suppression
  is too strong.

 

Some objects are

 

not displayed.
