Note:
• For confirmation of an image that may be hidden between the waves and the image of a fast ship that
appears at a different position for each scan, the image may be displayed weaker than the actual one.
Therefore, when fast moving target on the display, select [PROCESS] OFF.
• For operation of GAIN, SEA and RAIN, it may take some time before it becomes effective. Take
enough time for the operation, or operate again after [PROCESS] has been once off.
• Echo process mode requires heading signal, echo process mode turns into OFF if heading signal is
unavailable.
2.24 Echo expansion
This function is to enlarge an image in the direction of distance/bearing.
