4.4 Testing and checks

Radar checks and alignment

Your E-Series display is part of an integrated system. Raymarine strongly advise that 
you test and align the radar 

before

 connecting to other systems.

To test and align the radar you must first select a radar application. With the Select 
Page Set screen displayed (see previous section):

1. Press

 

OK

 to select the highlighted page set.

2. Press 

PAGE

. The currently selected page set is represented on the soft keys.

3. Press the corresponding soft key to display a full window radar application.
4. The scanner warm-up countdown commences. This will take 70 seconds (approx).

Note: 

If your scanner is incompatible, a message is displayed. If this is the case, you will be 

unable to proceed further with testing and aligning the radar. Refer to Important Informa-

tion - Radar Scanners at the front of this handbook.

Radar transmission check

With a radar application active, check the transmission to the scanner as follows:

1. Press the 

RANGE

 button and ensure that the radar range adjusts accordingly.

2. Check that all the following information is displayed:

• In the status bar - the range, orientation, motion mode and range ring spacing 
• In the data bar - a turning radar status icon and vessel position data.
