1.3Turning Power On/Off

Press the [POWER/BRILL] key to turn on the power. The unit beeps, the startup screen appears, and then the equipment checks the ROM and RAM for proper operation and displays program number. The ROM and RAM check shows OK or NG (No Good). If NG appears, try to press any key except the [POWER/BRILL] key to continue. If the equipment does not work properly, contact your dealer for advice.

Startup screen

After the completion of the startup test, a timer displays the time remaining for warm up of the magnetron (the device which transmits radar pulses), counting down from 1:00 to 0:00.

To turn off the power, press and hold down the [POWER/BRILL] key (about three seconds) until the screen goes blank.

Provided that the radar was once in use with the transmitter tube (magnetron) still warm, you can turn the radar into TRANSMIT condition without 1-minute of warm-up. If the [POWER/BRILL] key was accidentally turned off and you want to restart the radar promptly, turn on the [POWER/BRILL] key not later than 15 seconds after power-off.

Note 1: In a cold environment the screen appears “foggy” when the power is turned on but is soon restored to normal condition.

Note 2: Windows other than menu windows are erased when there is no operation within about 10 seconds.

1.4 Transmitting, Standby

After the power is turned on and the magnetron has warmed up, “ST-BY” (Stand-by) appears, indicating the radar is ready to transmit radar pulses.

To toggle between transmit and stand-by, do as below. Note that you may also do this with “TX/ST-BY” on the User menu.

1.With the power turned on, press the [POWER/BRILL] key momentarily to show the brilliance/contrast adjustment window.

2.Press the [MODE] key to go to stand-by and transmit status alternately.

Note: If you attempt to transmit before “ST-BY” appears, the beeps sound and the radar does not transmit pulses. Wait until “ST-BY” appears.

3.Press the [MENU/ESC] key to close the window.

When radar pulses are transmitted the radar receiver is automatically tuned. Echoes appear in four levels of digitized video according to echo strength.
