For example, set the area where an interfering object at the rear of the scanner would produce a dead sector (area where no echoes appear) on the display. To enter an area, enter start bearing relative the heading and dead sector angle. To erase the area, enter 0 for both the START and ANGLE sections. The setting range of START is 0 to 359° and ANGLE is 0 to 180°.
