button shows the current operating mode.
Select it to change the setting. There are three choices:
◦ Transmit
- if the radar was in
Standby
mode, it will
start transmitting immediately. If the radar was
Off
there is
a pause of 90 - 180 seconds while it warms ups before it
starts transmitting.

operating mode to
Standby

Off.

Standby
- this stops transmission but keeps the Radar
ready to transmit again.

This saves on power consumption, but you must turn
the Radar on then wait for it to warm up before you can use
it again.
