Silencing CPA/TCPA audible alarm

Press the [AUDIO OFF] key to acknowledge and silence the CPA/TCPA audible alarm.

The flashing of the triangle plot symbol and vector remain on the screen until the dan- gerous situation is no longer present or you intentionally terminate tracking of the target by using the [CANCEL/CLEAR] key.

Lost target alarm

When the system detects a lost target, track- ing on the target is discontinued and the tar- get symbol becomes a flashing diamond (). The normal plotting symbol is restored to the target when the target is manually acquired. If the target is not reacquired the flashing dia- mond will be erased from the screen.

Confirming lost target

1.Place cursor on target.

2.Press the [CANCEL/CLEAR] key.

Guard zone alarm

When a target comes in the guard zone, the buzzer sounds and the indication “GUARD ZONE” appears. The intruding target is de- noted by an inverted triangle mark. The mark disappears when the target exits the zone.

You can set the guard zone as follows:

1.Press the [MENU], [7], [7] to display PLOT MENU 1.

2.Press the [0] key twice.

3.Press the [3] key to select GUARD ZONE.

4.Press the [3] key again to select SET and press the [ENTER/SELECT] key.

5.Set the cursor on one boundary of the guard ring and press the [ENTER/SE- LECT] key. Set the cursor on the other boundary and press the [ENTER/SE- LECT] key.

To disable the guard ring, select OFF at step 4 in the above procedure and press the [EN- TER/SELECT] key.

13.Track Test (Simulation Display)

The simulation display tests the ATA proces- sor for proper operation. The figure below shows the starting picture of the simulation display. Each mark moves as time passes. Check that each target’s data is reasonable.

Do this test when the radar is not being used.
