• 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.
RADIATION HAZARD
Radiation emitted from the scanner unit can be harmful, particularly to the eyes. To avoid harm-
ful radiation, ensure the radar power is in the OFF position before beginning work on the scan-
ner unit.

The following are typical basic operation examples, which may hinder radar reception (sea clutter, precipitation in-
terference 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
This function serves to eliminate echoes from waves
at close range. Reduce the receiver gain for close ob-
jects 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.

■ IR function
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)

viewing of small targets. (p. 6)
