The POWER key switch turns on and off the mains supply to the
radar system.
When the system goes into standby mode after 3 minutes
preheating period, the STBY/TX key switch functions as a
transmission switch. To temporarily stop the transmission, press the
STBY/TX key again. The system returns to standby mode.
The RANGE key changes the range scale. A press of the + key or –
key increases or decreases the range scale, respectively.
The SP/LP key is used to change the transmission pulse length to
either long or short. Default is a standard pulse length. Subsequent
pressing of the key toggles the pulse length between standard and
long pulses.
The BRILL control is used to set the brilliance of the display tube.
Turning the control CW increases the picture brilliance and CCW
