Changing the PPI position

You can set one or two radar guard zones 
to notify you when a target enters or exits a 
specified area around your boat. 
You can customize the size and shape of the 
radar guard zones and set up alarms.
1.  From the radar window, press 

 then 

select 

Guard zone

Turning a radar guard zone on or off

Two radar guard zones are available. You can 
turn either or both on or off. 
To turn a radar guard zone on or off:
1  From the radar window, press 

 then 

select 

Guard zone

2  Select 

Zone

. There are two choices:

•  1 selects radar guard zone 1.
•  2 selects radar guard zone 2.

You can move the PPI (Plan Position Indicator) 
centre to a different location if you are in 
Relative motion mode. (If you are in True 
motion mode, the radar automatically 
positions the PPI centre.)
To change the PPI position:
1  From the radar window, press 

 then 

select 

Position

.

2  There are three choices:

• 

Centre. 

The PPI centre is in the centre 

of the radar window so that all other 
objects move relative to your boat. 

• 

Look Ahead. 

The PPI centre is 

positioned so that the radar window is 
offset from the centre to give you the 
maximum view ahead. 

• 

Set.

 Offset the PPI centre in the radar 

window. (This works only when you are 
using relative motion (RM) mode). Use 
the arrow keys to move the PPI centre 
to the new position then press 

 to 

confirm. The new position must allow 
most of the radar sweep to appear 
on the radar window; if it doesn’t, the 
PPI centre will be moved as close as 
possible to the desired position.
