Use the Electronic Bearing Lines (EBLs) to take bearings of targets. There are two EBLs, No. 1 and No. 2. Each EBL is a straight dashed line extending out from the own ship position up to the circumference of the radar picture. The fine dashed line is the No. 1 EBL and the coarse dashed one is the No. 2 EBL.

2.Operate the Trackball to bisect the target of interest with the EBL and read its bearing at the lower-left corner of the screen.

3.You may “anchor” an EBL by choosing it and pressing the ENTER key.

4.To erase an EBL, make it active and press the CANCEL/HL OFF key.
