Ship speed indication

When the ship speed data with NMEA 0183 format is applied, the radar can display the ship speed. Knots (KT) or kilometers/hour (KM/h) are automatically se- lected in the normal screen (p. 4) by selecting nautical miles (NM) or kilometers (KM) respectively.

qPush [MENU]/[ ] several times to call up the FUNCTION menu.

wPush [Ú] until the “DIST UNIT” section becomes highlighted.

ePush [Ω ≈] to turn the ship speed indication to NM or KM.

rPush [MENU]/[] several times to exit the menu display or push [Ú] once to proceed to the position display setting.

Position indication

When latitude/longitude data with NMEA 0183 format is applied, the radar can display the latitude and longi- tude of your ship’s or cursor position in the bottom of the display. (To display the CURSOR position, bearing data is necessary.) (p. 39)

qPush [MENU]/[ ] several times to call up the FUNCTION menu.

wPush [Ú] until “POSN DISP” section becomes high- lighted.

ePush [Ω ≈] to select the ship position or cursor po- sition.

rPush [MENU] several times to exit the menu.

Waypoint indication

When waypoint data received from navigation equip- ment with NMEA 0183 format is applied, the radar can display the waypoint. To display the waypoint marker, bearing data is necessary. (p. 39)

qPush [MENU]/[ ] several times to call up the FUNCTION menu.

wPush [Ú] until the “WPT” section becomes high- lighted.

ePush [Ω ≈] to turn the waypoint indication ON or OFF.

rPush [MENU]/[] several times to exit the menu display.

BASIC OPERATION 4

Long pulse function

To magnify the blips for easier viewing of small targets, the long pulse and echo stretch (p. 11) functions are available. When the long pulse is used in the 34 to

2NM range, this function magnifies target echoes to the backward direction of the target.

Pulse selection

qPush [MENU]/[ ] several times to call up the VIDEO menu. (p. 6)

wPush [Ú] until the “PULSE” section becomes high- lighted.

ePush [≈] to select the long pulse.

rLong Pulse indication “ ” appears in the upper left of the screen.

tPush [MENU]/[ ] several times to exit the menu.

NOTE: Turn SP (Short Pulse) this function during normal operation. This function reduces the target distance resolution. (p. 23)

Bearing setting

The radar bearing interface accepts NMEA, N+1 or AUX data format and the bearing can use a magnetic or true north type. When a true north type bearing is used, the variation from magnetic north, etc., can be adjusted on 0.1˚ steps.

DSetting the bearing type

qPush [MENU]/[ ] several times to call up the FUNCTION menu.

wPush [Ú] until the “BRG” section becomes high- lighted.

ePush [Ω ≈] to select magnetic or true north type.

All displayed bearing readouts show the selected bear- ing type.

DSetting the magnetic variation

qPush [MENU]/[ ] several times to call up the INT. SETTING menu.

wPush [Ú] until the “MAG VAR” sections becomes highlighted.

ePush [Ω ≈] to select an AUTO* or MANUAL varia- tion.

rWhen a MANUAL variation is selected, push [Ú], then push [Ω ≈] to set the bearing variation.

tPush [MENU]/[ ] to exit the menu display or push [Ú] once to proceed to the bearing input set- ting.

*NOTE: NMEA data is required for auto variation. NEVER select “AUTO” variation without NMEA data, incorrect varia- tion data may entered.
