2. INITIAL SETUP
WARNING
The radar antenna emits
electromagnetic radio frequency
(RF) energy which can be
harmful, particularly to your eyes.
Never look directly into the
antenna aperture from a close
distance while the radar is in
operation or expose yourself to
the transmitting antenna at a
close distance.
Distances at which RF radiation
levels of 100, 50 and 10 W/m
are given in the table below.

WARNING
Before turning on the radar, be sure
no one is near the antenna.
Prevent the potential risk of being
struck by the rotating antenna, which
can result in serious injury or death.
For the comfort use of target analyzer function, an appropriate time need to be set in
the [SMOOTH S/C] menu. When the time set in this menu is too long, the landmass
can be judged as approaching target and displayed in red while accelerating, decelerating or turning. If this symptom occur too often, shorten the time in [SMOOTH S/C]
menu.
Note: Unstableness of COG and SOG can be larger when the [SMOOTH S/C] time
become shorter. Set the time avoiding the influence to other navigational equipment,
such as GPS plotter and autopilot.
Installation with Multi Function Displays
This radar series is compatible with the FURUNO Multi Function Displays and software version combinations shown below. The combination with other models may not
operate properly.
• TZT9, TZT14 and TZTBB: Version 5.01 or later

How to align the antenna heading
You have mounted the antenna unit facing straight ahead in the direction of the bow.
Therefore, a small but conspicuous target dead ahead visually should appear on the
heading line (zero degrees).
You may observe a minor bearing error on the display. This is due to the difficulty in
orienting the radar accurately. The following adjustment will compensate for the error.
