WARNING
CAUTION
NOTE
DEFINITION
Personal injury, fire hazard or electric
shock may occur.
Equipment damage may occur.
If disregarded, inconvenience only.
No risk of personal injury, fire or
electric shock.
PRECAUTION
Thank you for purchasing Icom’s MR-1000RII/TII MA-
RINE RADAR.
The radar is designed especially for fishing boats. It
has powerful transmission power, 10 inch CRT display
and many other advanced features.
If you have any questions regarding the operation of
the radar, contact your nearest authorized Icom Inc.
dealer.
IMPORTANT
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and com-
pletely before attempting to operate the marine radar.
SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL. This
manual contains important safety and operating instructions for the MR-1000RII/TII.
EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS
The following explicit definitions apply to this instruction manual.
RNEVER let metal, wire or other objects touch any
internal part of the radar.
RNEVER place the radar within the reach of chil-
dren.
RNEVER expose the display unit to rain, salt water
or any other liquids.
NEVER connect the radar to AC or more than 42 V
DC. This will damage the radar.
AVOID using the radar near any magnetic materials,
such as a loudspeaker or a large power transformer,
as this can cause distortion of the CRT display.
AVOID placing the display unit in excessively dusty environments.
AVOID placing the display unit near heating equipment
or in direct sunlight or where hot or cold air blows directly onto it.
AVOID using the scanner unit in areas where the temperature is below –25˚C (–13˚F) or above +70˚C
(+158˚F). AVOID using the display unit in areas where
the temperature is below –15˚C (+5˚F) or above +55˚C
(+131˚F).
AVOID using strong solvents such as benzene or alcohol for cleaning the radar, as they may damage the
surfaces.
BE CAREFUL!
SART signal may not be detected and may
not be displayed on the screen depending
on the SEA, RAIN or IR settings.
Follow the settings as below to detect the
SART signal on the screen.
q Select the screen range between 6 NM
to 12 NM with [+/–]. (p. 2)
w Set the [GAIN] as high as possible. (p. 3)
e Set the [SEA] to minimum. (p. 3)
r Set the [RAIN] to minimum. (p. 3)
t Turn the [IR] OFF.
y Turn the [STRETCH] OFF.

DANGER! HIGH VOLTAGE
• NEVER OPEN THE UNIT
This product contains high voltage that could be FATAL. This product has no user-serviceable parts inside. All repairs and adjustments MUST be made by a qualified electronics technician at your Marine Navigation Dealer.
• HIGH VOLTAGE
High voltages of up to 3,500 volts are used in this equipment. Although prudent measures for
safety have been adopted, sufficient care must be taken in the operation, maintenance and
adjustment of the equipment.
Electric shock of 1,000 volts or more may cause electrocution and death; even an electric
shock of only 100 volts may be fatal.
• PREVENTION OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
(FOR QUALIFIED ELECTRONIC TECHNICIANS ONLY)
To prevent such accidents, turn OFF the power source and do not reach inside the unit until
you have:
q discharged the capacitors by disconnecting the power cable from the power source for
5 min.;
w checked that no electric charges remain inside the device.
Also, it is safest to wear dry insulated rubber gloves. NEVER use both hands simultaneously;
keep one hand in your pocket.
RADIATION HAZARD
Radiation emitted from the scanner unit can be harmful, particularly to the eyes. To avoid harmful radiation, ensure the radar power is in the OFF position before beginning work on the scanner unit.

BASIC OPERATION
■ Checking the installation
Before turning the power ON, be sure all the connections are complete. The checklist at right may be helpful for necessary confirmation.
CAUTION: Connect the scanner unit before turning the
power ON. Otherwise the magnetron inside the scanner
unit might be damaged.
■ Turning power ON/OFF
D Checklist
q The 4 bolts securing the scanner unit must be firmly
tightened.
w Cabling must be securely attached to a mast or
mounting material, and must not interfere with the
rigging.
e Be sure waterproofing procedures are completed
on the system cable.
r The power connections to the battery must be of the
correct polarity.
t Be sure that the plugs at the rear of the display unit
have been connected correctly and securely.
(See p. 24 for details.)
q Push [POWER]/[ ] to turn the power ON.
• The initial screen appears and warming up time is
counted down on the screen.
•
The magnetron inside the scanner unit warms up for 90 sec.
• [POWER]/[]does not function for 2 sec. after
the power is turned OFF.
w When the countdown is completed, the Standby
screen appears.
e Push [TX]/[ ] to start scanning and select
the Plan Position Indicator (PPI) screen.
• Targets and heading marker appear.
• The screen appears approx. 2 sec. after turning the
power on, when ‘AUTO’ is selected in the “TUNE” of the
VIDEO menu.
r Push [POWER]/[ ] to turn the power OFF.

pears from the screen.
• See “Turning power ON/OFF” on page at left.
e Push [+]/[ ] or [–]/[ ] several times to se-
lect the display range.
• The screen range readout shows the maximum range of
the screen.
r Turn [GAIN]/[ ] to set 1 o’clock position.
• Clockwise rotation increases the gain.
• Increased gain may increase screen noise.
t Turn [SEA]/[ ] to set the sensitivity time con-
trol for minimum.

for minimum.
u Push [MODE]/[ ] to select one of Head-up;H
UP, Course-up;C UP, North-up;NUP or True Motion;TM screens.
C UP, N UP or TM can be selected only when bearing, position or speed data are connected.
(See p. 39 for details)
NOTE:
Manual adjustment can be used. (See below.)
D Heading marker
The heading marker is a line that shows your ship’s
bow direction. (This marker will appear in the center of
the screen when the Head-up screen H UP is selected.) The heading marker can be hidden when the
desired target is located under the heading marker.
• Push and hold [BRILL]/[ ] and [MENU]/[ ] simulta-
neously to hide the heading marker.
D Fixed range rings
The fixed range rings can be used for rough distance
measurement. (p. 14)
Push [MENU]/[ ] to open the FUNCTION menu,
then push [Ú] to select RING. Push [≈] to turn the ring
ON.
D Manual tuning
The receiver tuning can be manually adjusted.
Push [MENU]/[ ] to open the VIDEO menu, then
select MANUAL. Push [Ú] to activate the manual tun-
ing slider, then push [Ω ≈] to set the tuning level indi-
cator to the maximum level. (p. 6)
•“M.TUNE” appears on the top of the display.
D Brilliance adjustment
The intensity of the screen can be adjusted. When you
require continuous operation, but not constant viewing,
a lower setting can increase the life of the CRT display.
NOTE: High intensity will shorten the life of the CRT
display.
• Key illumination
The backlighting of the keys can be adjusted for convenient operation. (p. 7)
Push [MENU]/[ ] four times to call up the INT. SETTING menu. Push [Ω ≈] to select the illumination level.
• Key illumination corresponds with [BRILL]/[ ] control.

BASIC OPERATION
The following are typical basic operation examples, which may hinder radar reception (sea clutter, precipitation interference and echoes from other radar).
■ RAIN function
This function eliminates reflection echoes from rain,
snow, fog etc.
• Rotate the control fully counterclockwise to deactivate the
control function. The RAIN indicator ( ) disappears.
• NOTE: DO NOT reduce the reflection echoes too much,
otherwise you may miss weaker targets.
■ SEA function
■ OFF CENTER function
This function serves to eliminate echoes from waves
at close range. Reduce the receiver gain for close objects within a radius of 8 miles to eliminate sea clutter.
• Rotate the control fully clockwise to activate the automatic
control function. SEA indicator ( )appears in the upper left
of the screen.
WARNING: The [SEA]/[ ] control re-
duces the receiver sensitivity of objects within 8
miles. Therefore, caution and careful adjustment are
necessary when using the [SEA]/[ ] control.
Small objects may not be displayed on the screen
when strong echoes from the rain or the island within
1 NM while automatic SEA function is activating.
The scanning area can be shifted in a desired direction and can be enlarged partially. This is useful when
the Head-up* is selected and you want to enlarge the
bow direction display, or, the center of the screen shifts
in the direction of the intersection.
• This function is available for 24NM or shorter range selection.
*This function is not available in the TM screen.

BASIC OPERATION
Radar interference may appear when another ship’s
radar is operating on the same frequency band in
close proximity. The IR function can eliminate this type
of interference. (p. 6)

w Push [Ú] until the “IR” section becomes highlighted.
e Push [Ω ≈] to select IR function 1, 2 or OFF.
