displayed in yellow, turning to paler shades of blue
as the signal diminishes. If you have changed the
color palette in use, target colors may be different.
The wake options are: 10 sec, 30 sec, 1 min, 5

• OFF — does NOT show the direction and speed
of moving targets in relation to your vessel.
Tune control • AUTO — the default mode. The radar tunes itself
automatically on all range scales. Raymarine
recommends that you leave the tune function in
AUTO mode to receive the maximum signal.
• MANUAL — enables you to manually set the
tuning. Adjust the control to obtain the maximum
signal strength. If you adjust the setting shortly
after powering up the radar scanner, you should
adjust it again approximately 10 minutes after
powering up the scanner, as the required setting
will change after the magnetron has warmed up.
The radar tuning control enables you to fine-tune the
radar scanner’s receiver for maximum target returns
on the display.
