RadarVision 2
User’s Guide
Preliminary
To insert or change batteries, twist the tabbed quarter-turn connector on the battery door
counter-clockwise, then swing the door open and disengage the tabs from the slots in the unit
casing. Insert the battery with the metal contacts innermost. Locking the cover is the reverse
process: engage the door tabs, then swing the door to spring-load the battery in its
compartment. Twist the quarter-turn connector clockwise to secure the door
Pushing the red button on the back (operator’s) side of the RV 2 will turn the unit on. It
takes about 10 seconds for the unit to boot and begin operating.
1.3 Scanning
The RV 2 will begin radar scanning when the boot up process is complete. No operator
action is needed to see radar information. A display with wedge-shaped reticle depicting the
radar’s field of view appears on the operator’s screen. This is a “top-down” view or map of
the target area being scanned. The operator and radar are located at the angled bottom of this
wedge shaped reticle. Targets farther away from the operator show up toward the top of the
reticle.
Also prominent are white bars with blue text on the lower sides of the screen. These bars are
the menu and each describe the functions of a corresponding green control button above the
left or right handles.
The radar will scan for
moving
targets immediately. These targets may appear as orange
“blobs” on the screen. Although there are controls to optimize the scanning image, no harm
can be done by using the radar and experimenting with it.
