1.28Temporarily Hiding the Heading Line

The heading line indicates the ship's heading in all presentation modes. The heading line is a line from the own ship position to the outer edge of the radar display area and appears at zero degrees on the bearing scale in head-up mode; it changes the orientation depending on the ship orientation in north-up and true motion modes and when course is changed in the course-up mode.

To temporarily hide the heading line (and any other marker present) to look at targets existing dead ahead of own ship, press and hold down the CANCEL/HL OFF key. To re-display the heading line, release the key.

1.29Custom Setup

1.29.1About custom setup

Every time your navigating environment or task changes, you must adjust the radar, which can be a nuisance in a busy situation. Instead of changing radar settings case by case, it is possible to assign the CUSTOM key to provide optimum settings for often encountered situations.

The radar's internal computer offers three default custom setups (see the table below). However, you may customize these settings to meet your navigation needs, on the Custom 1, Custom 2 and Custom 3 menus.

To enable a custom setup, press the CUSTOM key. Each press of the key enables Custom1, Custom2 or Custom3 cyclically. (Custom setup numbers which are turned off will be skipped.) The chosen custom setup name is shown at the top left corner. To escape from custom setup, operate any control.
