9.18 Set the heading calibration (heading sensor not installed)

The heading calibration rotates the radar image on the screen so that a target dead ahead corresponds to a bearing of 0° on the screen.

•Press RADAR so that the navigator displays radar only.

•Find a target at least 1 nautical mile distant. Choose an obvious land target or solid object with a fixed reference such as a jetty, light house or pier. Steer the vessel until the reference target is directly head up then maintain this heading.

•Zoom in as necessary to place the reference target near the outer edge of the screen.

•Press Page 1, Page 2

•Check that the chart rotation (Rotate button) is set to Hdg Up.

•Press Page 2, Page 3, Page 4 and Install... .

•Press Heading Calibrate then press the cursor pad left and right to rotate the radar image so that the reference target is at 0° (vertical from the centre of the radar sweep).

9.19 Restore all the factory settings

If you need to restore ALL of the radar settings (except trigger delay, heading calibration and whether or not a heading sensor is installed) to their factory settings, do the following:

•From the main radar page, press Page 1.

•Press Restore... .

•Press Restore factory settings to return the unit to its state when it was shipped with the exception of the following:

•From the main radar page, press Page 1.

•Press Restore... .

•Press any or all of Restore Auto, Restore Harbor, Restore Range Rider, and Restore Manual to return to the factory appearance settings.

This completes the installation calibration.

Note that the heading correction may need to be adjusted slightly after the gain is optimized to provide a better picture.
