2.2 Turning the Radar On/Off

Press the [POWER] key to turn the radar on or off.

The control panel lights and a timer displays the time remaining for warm up of the mag- netron (the device which produces radar pulses), counting down from 1:30 to 0:01.

2.4 Stand-by

When you won’t be using the radar for an extended period, but you want to keep it in a state of readiness, place it in stand-by by pressing the [STBY TX] key. The display shows “STBY,” navigation data, or goes into the economy mode depending on menu set- ting. (More on menu operation later.)

2.3 Transmitting

After the power is turned on and the magne- tron has warmed up, STBY (Stand-By) ap- pears at the screen center . This means the radar is now fully operational.

Press the [STBY TX] key to transmit.

When transmitting, any echoes from targets appear on the display . This radar displays echoes in eight tones of green according to echo strength.

Economy mode

The CRT can be set to automatically turn it- self off when in stand-by , to reduce power consumption. This feature is called the “economy mode.” Power consumption in the economy mode is 28 W. When the economy mode is on, the lamp next to the [POWER] key lights.
