Sweep timing differs with respect to the length of the signal cable between the antenna unit and the processor unit. Adjust sweep timing to prevent the following symptoms:

•The echo of a "straight" target (for example, pier), on the 0.25 m range, will appear on the dis- play as being pulled inward or pushed outward. See the figure below.

•The range of target echoes will also be incorrectly shown.
