must not be discarded in standard trash, or at a trash site. Take the

used batteries to a battery collection site according to your national

legislation and the Batteries Directive 2006/66/EU.

In the USA

The Mobius loop symbol (three chasing arrows) indicates that Ni-Cd

and lead-acid rechargeable batteries must be recycled. Take the used

batteries to a battery collection site according to local laws.

In the other countries

There are no international standards for the battery recycle symbol. The number of symbols can

increase when the other countries make their own recycle symbols in the future.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Radio Frequency Radiation Hazard

WARNING

Indicates a condition that can cause death or serious

injury if not avoided.

CAUTION

Indicates a condition that can cause minor or moderate

injury if not avoided.

Warning, Caution Mandatory Action

Prohibitive Action

Read these safety instructions before you operate the equipment.

The radar antenna sends the electromagnetic radio frequency (RF) energy. This energy

can be dangerous to you, especially your eyes. Do not look at the radiator or near the

antenna when the antenna is rotating.

The distances at which RF radiation levels of 100 W/m

and 10 W/m

exist are shown in

the table.

Note: If the antenna unit is installed at a close distance in front of the wheel house,

prevent the transmission in that area to protect passengers and crew from microwave

radiation. Set the [Sector Blanks] in the [System] menu.

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Do not open the equipment.

Only qualified persons can work

inside the equipment.

Turn off the power before you

service the antenna unit. Post a

warning sign near the power

switch not to turn on the power

while you service the antenna

unit.

Prevent the potential risk of being

struck by the rotating antenna and

exposure to RF radiation hazard.

Do not disassemble or modify

the equipment.

Fire or electrical shock can occur.

Turn off the power immediately

if water leaks into the equipment

or smoke or fire is coming

from the equipment.

Failure to turn off the equipment

can cause fire or electrical shock.

Use the correct fuse.

A wrong fuse can damage the

equipment and cause fire.

Keep heater away from the

equipment.

Heat can change the equipment

shape and melt the power cord, which

can cause fire or electrical shock.

Do not put liquid-filled containers

on the top of the equipment.

Fire or electrical shock can occur if a

liquid spills into the equipment.

Do not operate the equipment with

wet hands.

Electrical shock can occur.

WARNING

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not depend on one navigation

device for the navigation of the

ship. The navigator must check all

aids available to confirm position.

Electronic aids are not a

replacement for basic navigation

principles and common sense.

· The ARPA automatically tracks an

automatically or manually acquired

radar target and calculates its

course and speed, indicating them

by a vector. Since the data from the

auto plotter depend on the selected

radar targets, the radar must be

optimally tuned for use with the auto

plotter, to ensure required targets

will not be lost or unnecessary

targets like sea returns and noise

will not be acquired and tracked.

· A target is not always a landmass,

reef, ship, but can also be returns

from the sea surface and from

clutter. As the level of clutter

changes with the environment, the

operator must correctly adjust the

A/C SEA, A/C RAIN and GAIN

controls so that the target echoes do

not disappear from the radar screen.

CAUTION

The plotting accuracy and response of

this ARPA meets IMO standards.

The tracking accuracy is affected by the

following:

· The tracking accuracy is affected by

course change. One to two minutes is

required to restore vectors to full

accuracy after a sudden course change.

(The actual amount depends on

gyrocompass specifications.)

· The amount of tracking delay is inversely

proportional to the relative speed of the

target. Delay is on the order of 15-30

seconds for high relative speed; 30-60

seconds for low relative speed.

The data from ARPA and AIS are

intended for reference purposes only.

Check all available navigation aids to

determine target movement.

WARNING LABELS

Warning labels are attached to the equipment.

Do not remove any label. If a label is missing or

damaged, contact a FURUNO agent or dealer

about replacement.

WARNING

Radiation hazard. Only qualified

personnel should work inside scanner.

Confirm that TX has stopped before

opening scanner.

ANTENNA UNIT

The high quality TFT (Thin Film

Transistor) LCD displays 99.999%

of its picture elements.

The remaining 0.001% may drop

out or light, however this is an

inherent property of the LCD; it is

not a sign of malfunction.

Start-up screen

After the self-tests have completed, the bearing scale and a digital timer appear. The

digital timer counts down the time necessary to warm the magnetron, which transmits

the radar pulses. The time to warm the magnetron is 90 seconds for FR-8045/FR-

8065 and FR-8125 radars, 180 seconds for FR-8255 radar.

After the timer reads 0:00, the STBY screen appears. The STBY screen has three

types. (See paragraph 1.44.2.) The radar is ready to transmit the radar pulses. Press

the STBY/TX key to transmit the radar pulses.

The STBY/TX key switches between standby and transmit. The antenna rotates in

transmit and is stopped in standby. The magnetron gets old with use. To increase the

life of the magnetron, set the radar in standby when you do not use the radar.

Quick start

If the magnetron is still warm, you can get the radar to TRANSMIT without the warm

up time. When the key is turned off by accident, turn on the key within 10

seconds after you turn off the power.

1.15 How to Measure the Range to a Target

You can measure the range to a target in three methods. You can use the fixed range

rings, the cursor (if set to measure range and bearing) and the VRM (Variable Range

Marker).

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.

1.18 How to Select a Pulselength

The pulselength in use appears at the upper-left position on the screen. The pulse-

lengths are set to each range scale and custom setup. You can change the pulse-

length on the 1.5 nm, 1.6 nm, 3 nm or 3.2 nm range with the following procedure.

Pulselength cannot be changed on other ranges. (You can change the pulselength on

the 2 nm or 4 nm range in the [Russian-River] mode.) Use a longer pulse when your

purpose is long range detection. Use a shorter pulse when the resolution is important.

Note: Press the CUSTOM key several times to activate the [Echo] menu until the [CS

1] (2, 3) indication (custom setting) disappears from the screen. See the illustration in

section 1.3.
