The purpose of this manual is to provide the operating procedures for the functions available with
the fishing vessel specifications models (50 kW and 60 kW models) of the FAR-2107/FAR-2807
series radar. This manual is provided in addition to the Operator's Manual, which covers features
common to all radars in this radar series.
Specification type is set during installation. For details, contact a FURUNO agent or dealer.
Operation from the menu involves spinning the scrollwheel to select menu item or option then
pushing the scrollwheel or left button to confirm selection. For sake of brevity, we write "Select
XXX" (XXX=name of menu item) when you would spin the scrollwheel to make a selection and
"push the left button" when you confirm selection.

1.TARGET TRAIL FUNCTIONS
1.1Long Trails
The fishing vessel specifications radar provides trail lengths of 12 h, 24 h and 48 h, in
addition to the “standard” trail lengths of 15 s, 30 s, 1 min, 3 min, 6 min, 15 min, 30 min
and continuous. To select a trail length, do the following:
1. Place the cursor on the TRAIL MODE box at the bottom right-hand corner on the
screen.
TRUE TRAIL OFF
2. Right-click the box to open the TRAIL
menu.
[TRAIL
MENU]
3. Select 8 TRAIL LENG TH then push the left
button.
4. Select NORMAL, 12H, 24H, or 48H as
appropriate then push the left button.
NORMAL: Trail lengths of 15 s, 30 s, 1 min,
3 min, 6 min, 15 min, 30 min and continuous, selectable from the TRAIL MODE
box.
12H: Max. 12-hour trails
24H: Max. 24-hour trails
48H: Max. 48-hour trails
Note: Trail data is erased and the TRAIL
MODE box setting shows "OFF" whenever
a trail length is chosen from the menu.
5. Push the right button to close the menu.
6. If you chose the 12H, 24H or 48H trail
length, select how many minutes of trails to
show in the chosen time period, from the
TRAIL MODE box. Settings and corre-
* Shown when 8 TRAIL LENGTH
is selected to other than "NORMAL".
sponding trail times are
12H: 30 minute increments
24H: 1 hour increments
48H: 2 hour increments
For example, you have selected 12H from the TRAIL menu and 30 minutes from
the TRAIL MODE box. Then, 30 minutes worth of trails are displayed over the 12hour time period.
Note: When 2 TRAIL GRAD is set for SINGLE, long trails (12H/24H/48H) are painted
in various colors (see section 1.2) and standard trails are painted in single color. For
long trails, select SINGLE, since MULTI paints trails in a single color.

1.2Trail Color
The color of target trails may be chosen from among fuchsia, maroon, red, purple,
yellow, lime, green, olive, teal, cyan, blue, and navy, when 2 TRAIL GRAD and 8
TRAIL LENGTH on the TRAIL menu are set for SINGLE and other than NORMAL,
respectively.
1. Right-click the TRAIL MODE box.
2. Select 0 [TRAIL COLOR] then push the left button.

setting as follows:
12 hour trails: Trail color changes once every hour.
24 hour trails: Trail color changes once every two hours.
48 hour trails: Trail color changes once every four hours.
The color of the track will change in the color order specified here when 3 COLOR
SHIFT (see the next page) is activated. These colors can be changed by continuing this procedure.

1.3Trail Color Shift
When there are many trails on the screen, especially when using long trails, it is difficult to distinguish past tracks from current tracks since they are the same color. With
the trail color shift feature, tracks are painted in a different color from the point when
color shift is activated. For example, the current track color is 1: FUCHSIA. Then, at
the moment the trail color shift is made active, trails from that point will be painted in
2: MAROON.

Note: At the moment the trail color shift is activated, the trail colors in effect after the
time set in the TRAIL MODE box are erased. For example, the trail length is 12
HOURS and the time set in the TRAIL MODE box is 05:00. Then, using the illustration
above as an example, 6: LIME will not be shown.
2 TRAIL GRAD in the TRAIL menu must be set to SINGLE and 8 TRAIL LENGTH to
other than NORMAL in order to activate the trail color shift feature.

• To erase a specific point or if you are using a trackball control unit (RCU-015 or
RCU-016), place the cursor on the part of the trail to erase and long-push the left
button. Trails within the track eraser are erased. To continue erasing, repeat the
above procedure.
• To erase trails in a wide area, select trail with the cursor, and roll the trackball
while pressing and holding down the [ALARM ACK] key . T rails which contact the
edge of the track eraser are erased.
A beep sounds when the right button, [ALARM ACK] key or trackball is operated.
Note: The trail eraser feature erases only track currently shown on the display. To
erase track stored in the memory, select a long trail time (from the TRAIL MODE
box), to show more trail on the display.

boxes and indications off, by a function key. The default setting of the F2 key turns the
boxes on/off. If the function of the F2 key is set for other than ICON DISP, program for

3.4Bearing Reference
The EBL bearing (and cursor bearing) can be referenced to your ship heading (relative
bearing) or North (true bearing). This radar indicates true or relative bearings with an
R or T in the EBL and cursor data boxes. In the head-up and cursor gyro modes you
can switch between true and relative bearings. In all other modes true bearings are
normally displayed. Heading signal is required to display true bearing.
