1.2 For safe usage
Caution about the rotating aerial
Caution
Caution
The radar antenna may start to rotate without notice. Please stand clear
from the antenna for your safety.
Caution about electromagnetic disturbance
The operating antenna & scanner unit radiates high-energy
electromagnetic wave. It may cause harmful effect for human body due to
its continuous irradiation. As International regulation says, electromagnetic
waves less than 100 watt/m
bodies, but some kind of medical devices such as heart pacemakers are
sensitive even under the low energy electromagnetic wave. Any personnel
with such a device should keep away from the electromagnetic wave
generating position at all times.

Caution against the dust
Warning
Caution
Please wear a safety mask in the case of cleaning the interior of the
device. Dust may temporarily cause a disease of the respiratory
system. Be careful not to inhale dust.
Caution against static electricity
Please handle the printed circuit board only after taking measures
against static electricity. Static electricity occurs from the carpet on

1.3 Disposal of used cell and this device
A high-energy density lithium ion cell is built in this device.
Warning
Improper disposal of a lithium ion cell is discouraged as the cell has a
possibility of short-circuiting. If it gets wet, the generation of heat,
explosion or ignition may occur resulting in an injury or a fire.
Treatment of the used lithium ion cell
To dispose of built-in lithium ion cell in this device, insulate each terminal with scotch tape, etc. and
wrap in plastic bag, etc.
The disposal and collection rules may be different depending on each country. Obey the directions
of each country.
Disposal of this device
This device shall be disposed according to the regulations or rules.

1.5 In case no Heading and Speed signals are input from
navigation equipment
When no Heading and Speed signals are input from navigation equipment (in case not connected), this
radar gives alarms and warning messages on the screen, if the radar is started up by factory default
settings.
These alarms are disengaged by pressing “OFF” key temporarily, however, the alarms are activated
again next time the radar is started up.
Disengage the alarm detection function on start up by the following setting. Once set, the alarm is not
detected next time the radar is started up.
MENU => DATADISP => PROTECT CANCEL => ENT
MENU => NAV => STAB => GND => SEA => ENT

3.6 Reduce sea clutter (STC)
In short distance range, the echo from the sea clutter appears on the display even in calm state. In
rough seas, the echo from the sea clutter appears heavily around the center of the screen and the
targets become hard to be observed.
By using [SEA] knob, suppress this influence of anti-sea clutter and adjust it to make targets easier to
be observed.
1 Turn [SEA] knob clockwise to increase anti-sea clutter effect.
2 Turn [SEA] knob counter clockwise to decrease anti-sea clutter effect.
nti-sea clutter
Low
・ The knob shall be turned to leftmost position in a calm environment.
・ This function reduces gain in shorter ranges. Pay attention that the actual targets will be lost if the
knob turned clockwise too much.

3.7 Reduce rain/snow clutter (FTC)
In rain or snow weather, targets become hard to be observed as a result of the echo from those
reflections.
By using [RAIN] knob, you can suppress influence from the unwanted reflection of rain and snow and
make the picture easier to be observed.
1 Turn [RAIN] knob clockwise to increase anti- rain clutter effect.
2 Turn [RAIN] knob counter clockwise to decrease anti- rain clutter effect.
nti-rain clutter
Weak
The knob should be turned to leftmost position in normal environment.
Turning the knob clockwise, profiles of targets which were hidden due to the echo of rain/snow etc.
appear but pay attention not to fail to miss the small targets.
When a function to suppress ant-rain and anti-snow clutter is adjusted too high, it may prevent from
detecting targets due to suppression of echo not only from rain and snow but also from the targets
