Overview of display unit controls

The radar systems are mainly operated with controls of the display unit (and remote controller). Ten keys are labeled and they provide the function shown on their labels. The five soft keys provide various functions according to current operating mode. The [ENTER] knob mainly functions to register selections on the menu and enter alphanumeric data.
