which the unit should enter Standby mode. If necessary, adjust the lighting and contrast.

If required, change the default language settings.

Checking transmission

WARNING:

The radar scanner transmits electromagnetic energy. Ensure that the scanner has been installed according to the recommendations given in Chapter 1, and that all personnel are clear of the scanner, before switching to transmit mode.

Run through the radar operations described in the display unit Owner’s Handbook and check that all the expected data is displayed.

Bearing alignment

When the system is correctly installed, you must check the bearing alignment to ensure that targets appear at their correct bearing relative to the ship’s bow, and adjust the alignment if necessary.

Display timing adjustment

The display timing can be affected by the length of the cable used to connect the scanner to the display unit. This in turn affects the short range accuracy shown on the display.

It is advisable to check the display timing before using the system for navigation.

72" open array position alignment

To ensure the 72" open array scanner rests in correct position when rotation stops, you need to adjust the radar set up as follows:

1.With the display switched on in Radar mode, press MENU then press the RADAR SET UP soft key.

2.Use the cursor to select the ANTENNA SIZE option, then press the 6 ft softkey.

press ENTER twice to return to the default display.

If the Radar Set Up menu option ANTENNA SIZE is not available, then you have an older version of display software. The 72" open array scanner will operate correctly with this display. However, for details on adjusting the open array stopping-position, please contact your authorised Raytheon dealer or distributor.
