[Points on adjustments] Increasing the observation range will enable a wider range to be observed. However, a video image is small and the ability to detect targets near own ship decreases. Therefore, when observing the vicinity of own ship, use the smaller observation range. Decreasing the observation range will enable the vicinity of own ship to be enlarged. However, caution must be taken because video images of the area beyond the observation range cannot be displayed.

If the gain is too high, undesired signals including receiver noise and false echoes increase resulting in reduction of visibility of targets. Otherwise, accidents may result. On the contrary, if the gain is too low, targets including ships and dangerous objects may not be clearly indicated. Adjust the gain of the radar.

Note When an already acquired target goes into automatic acquisition guard zone, the alarm for the new target acquired in automatic acquisition guard zone does not sound. 6.7.3 Lost target notification (Lost) Note If the gain, sea clutter suppression, rain/snow clutter suppression are not adjusted adequately, the lost target notification may be easily generated. So, such adjustments should be very carefully. When it is impossible to continue tracking any acquired and tracked target, or the data of AIS target cannot received for a specified time, the [Lost] notification will be issued. The typical causes for alarm are shown below: - The target echo is very weak. - The target is hidden by a shore or a large ship and its echo is not received. - The target echo is blurred by sea clutter or rain/snow clutter. If a target under tracking goes into a range over 32 NM and can no longer be tracked, it is canceled without a lost target notification being issued.
