If you can not effectively suppress rain
clutter with the rain clutter control, use the
FTC function. In adverse weather, clouds,
rain or snow produce spray-like spurious
echoes which impair target detection over
a long distance. These echoes can be
suppressed by turning on the FTC circuit. There are two FTC settings, [FTC1] and
[FTC2]. [FTC2] provides increased rain clutter suppression.
Click the [FTC] icon at the bottom right corner on the screen to select an appropriate
FTC setting.

The [FTC PRESET] function, when active, applies the FTC a little stronger than
normal. The combination effect of the [FTC PRESET] and [FTC] functions is shown as

1.18How to Measure the Range to a Target (VRM)
You can measure the range to a target by two methods: fixed range rings and the VRM
(Variable Range Marker).
How to measure the range with the fixed range rings
Use the fixed range rings to get a rough estimate of the range to a target. The fixed
range rings are the concentric solid circles about your ship. The number of rings
changes with the selected range scale. The interval of the range ring is displayed at
the upper-left corner of the screen. Count the number of rings between the center of
the display and the target. Check the range ring interval and measure the distance of
the echo from the nearest ring.
How to measure the range with a VRM
There are two VRMs, VRM1 and VRM2. The VRMs are dashed so that you can
identify them from the fixed range rings. You can identify VRM1 from VRM2 by the
lengths of their dashes. The dashes of the VRM1 are shorter than those of the VRM2.

1.19How to Measure the Bearing to a Target (EBL)
Use the Electronic Bearing Line (EBL) to take a bearing of a target. There are two
EBLs, EBL1 and EBL2. Each EBL is a straight dashed line from the center of the
screen to the edge. The dashes of the EBL1 are shorter than those of the EBL2.

1.22Interference Rejecter
The radar interference can occur when your ship is
near the radar of another ship that operates on the
same frequency band with your radar.
The interference shows on the screen as many
bright dots. The dots can be random or in the shape
of dotted lines that run from the center to the edge of
the display. You can identify the interference from
the normal echoes, because the interference does
not appear in the same location on the next antenna
rotation. When this feature is turned on, "IR 1", "IR
2" or "IR 3" appears at the bottom right corner on the
screen.
Click the IR (Interference Rejection) icon to switch the setting among [IR OFF], [IR 1],

To identify true target echoes from the sea clutter, echoes are averaged over
succes-sive picture frames. If an echo is solid and stable, the echo is shown in its
normal in-tensity. The brilliance of sea clutter is reduced to easily identify true targets
from the sea clutter.
Note 1: Do not use the echo average function under heavy pitching and rolling to
prevent loss of targets.
Note 2: This feature requires a heading signal and position data. When either signal
becomes lost, echo average is deactivated.
To correctly use the echo average function, first reduce the sea clutter properly. Leave
a little sea clutter on the screen so as not to erase weak targets. Then, do as follows:

1. OPERATION
You can predict ship’s position in the vector time selected. This function requires two
GPS sensors and heading data. Some settings for own ship vector are required as
follows:
Menu itemsSettingsReference

[VECTOR TIME]Set a time between 30 s ec on ds to
paragraph 2.10.2
6 minutes.
Note: The shorter the time the more
accurate the prediction. [30sec] or
[1min] is recommended.
You can program function keys (F1 and F2) to provide one-touch access to a required
function. To activate a function, press the applicable function key, F1 or F2. The
default program for the F1 and F2 keys are [ORIENTATION MODE] and [DOCKING]
