PRIMUSr 880 Digital Weather Radar System

DEntry Method - Selected by sequencing through the roll offset, pitch offset, and roll gain menus with the STAB button. (Refer to Section 5, Radar Facts, table 5- 10.)

DControl - Pull the GAIN knob out and use it.

DExit Method - Push the GAIN knob in. Push STAB to exit and save settings.

NOTES: 1. If installation is configured only for roll offset adjustment, pushing the STB button saves and exits after the roll offset adjustment is made.

2.Upon exiting, stabilization may be either OFF or ON depending on how many times it was pushed during the procedure. Be sure to set stabilization OFF or ON as desired.

3.If upon entering the adjustment mode, no changes are desired, keep the gain knob pushed in and repeatedly push STAB until the mode is exited.
