Hiding the Ship’s Heading Marker (SHM)

The radar picture includes the ship’s heading marker, which is a line from your vessel’s position to the edge of the picture at the vessel’s current heading. In the standard Head Up mode, the heading marker is always a vertical line.

If you wish to check for small targets that may be hidden under the heading marker, you can hide it momentarily using the context-sensitive cursor.

➤To hide the heading marker:

1.Position the cursor over the heading marker, so that the text SHM is dis- played.

2.Press and hold CLEAR. The heading marker is hidden until you release the

CLEAR key.
