Furuno FR-7062, FR-7252, FR-7112 manual Turning the Radar On/Off, Stand-by, Transmitting

2.3 Turning the Radar On/Off

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

To turn the radar off, press the [POWER] key together with the [STBY/TX] key.

When the radar is turned on, the control panel lights and a timer displays the time remaining for warm up of the magnetron (the device which produces radar pulses), counting down from 1:30 to 0:01 (2:00 to 0:01 for FR-7252).

2.5 Stand-by

When you won’t be using the radar for an ex- tended 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,” (default setting) navigation data, or goes into the economy mode. (You can select stand-by condition on the menu. More on menu operation later.)

Economy mode

2.4 Transmitting

After the power is turned on and the magnetron has warmed up, STBY (Stand-By) appears 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 ech- oes in eight tones of green according to echo strength.

The CRT can be set to automatically turn itself off when in stand-by, to reduce power consump- tion. This feature is called the “economy mode”.

When the economy mode is on, the “ECONOMY” indication under the [STBY/TX] key lights.

Navigation data display during stand-by

If a navigation aid inputs navigation data to this radar, navigation data can be displayed during stand-by. You can turn the navigation data dis- play on/off through the menu. Figure 2-3 shows a typical navigation data display during stand- by.
