The following is typical operation examples that
may hinder radar reception (sea clutter, precipitation
interference and echoes from other radar).
D
Adjusting the gain
The control adjusts the sensitivity of the receiving
signal. The increased gain may increase screen noise.
z
Rotate the
GAIN
/
control until the noise
disappears.
D
Reducing the sea clutter
You can eliminates echoes from waves at close range.
Reduce the receiver gain for close objects within a
radius of approximately 8 NM to eliminate sea clutter.
z
Rotate the
SEA
/
control until the echoes
from sea waves disappear.
• The SEA icon is displayed in the upper left corner
of the screen when the SEA function is active.

z
Rotate the
SEA
/
control fully clockwise
to activate the automatic control.
• “AUTO” is displayed below the SEA icon when the
automatic control is active.
NOTE:
• The
SEA
/
control reduces the receiver
sensitivity of objects within approximately 8 NM.
Therefore close targets are blanked if the SEA
setting is set to too high.
• While the automatic SEA function is activated,
small objects may not be displayed on the screen
due to strong echoes from rain or islands within
1 NM.
D
Reducing the rain clutter
The rain clutter control eliminates echoes from rain,
snow, fog, and so on.
z
Rotate the
RAIN
/
control fully
counterclockwise to deactivate the control function.
L
The RAIN icon disappears.
Adjust RAIN control
Small echoes
D
Interference Reduction function
Radar interference may be displayed when another
vessel’s radar is operating on the same frequency
band in close proximity. The Interference Reduction
(IR) function can eliminate this type of interference.
