BASIC OPERATION
■
Ship speed indication
When the ship speed data with NMEA 0183 format is
applied, the radar can display the ship speed. Knots
(KT) or kilometers/hour (KM/h) are automatically se-
lected in the normal screen (p. 4) by selecting nautical
miles (NM) or kilometers (KM) respectively.

to turn the ship speed indication to NM
or KM.
r
Push [MENU]/[

] once to proceed to the position
display setting.
■
Position indication
When latitude/longitude data with NMEA 0183 format
is applied, the radar can display the latitude and longi-
tude of your ship’s or cursor position in the bottom of
the display. (To display the CURSOR position, bearing
data is necessary.) (p. 39)

■
Waypoint indication
When waypoint data received from navigation equip-
ment with NMEA 0183 format is applied, the radar can
display the waypoint. To display the waypoint marker,
bearing data is necessary. (p. 39)

■
Long pulse function
To magnify the blips for easier viewing of small targets,
the long pulse and echo stretch (p. 11) functions are
available. When the long pulse is used in the
3
⁄
4
to
2 NM range, this function magnifies target echoes to
the backward direction of the target.

■
Bearing setting
The radar bearing interface accepts NMEA, N+1 or
AUX data format and the bearing can use a magnetic
or true north type. When a true north type bearing is
used, the variation from magnetic north, etc., can be
adjusted on 0.1˚ steps.
D
Setting the bearing type
q
Push [MENU]/[
] several times to call up the
FUNCTION menu.
w
Push [
Ú

lighted.
e
Push [
Ω ≈]

• All displayed bearing readouts show the selected bear-
ing type.

SETTING menu.
w
Push [

highlighted.
e
Push [

tion.
r
When a MANUAL variation is selected, push [

then push [
Ω ≈]
to set the bearing variation.
t
Push [MENU]/[

push [
Ú
] once to proceed to the bearing input set-
ting.
*
NOTE:
NMEA data is required for auto variation.
NEVER
select “AUTO” variation without NMEA data, incorrect varia-
tion data may entered.
NOTE:
Turn SP (Short Pulse) this function during
normal operation. This function reduces the target
distance resolution. (p. 23)
