The sign “15S” indicates the length of the track, and displays a maximum of 15-second-long sailing track. Note: Refer to "5.5.3.6 Displaying track of target (TRACK)". Every press of the “TRACK” key changes the plotting time of ship’s track as follows.
42 15 sec → 30 sec → 1 min → 3 min → 6 min → CONT → OFF Note: The "OFF" state will not be displayed on the screen and the "TK xx " display will disappear. 5.4.19 Enlarging selected areas (ZOOM) The video image shown around the cross cursor can be zoomed twice as large as normal one on the screen. Press the "ZOOM" key to "ZOOM" ON. A small cross cursor and the sign "SET ZOOM POINT" will be displayed on the screen center and at the bottom respectively, and the magnification point is to be set. Use cursor keys to move the cross cursor to the point to be magnified and press the "ENT" key to complete the settings. The area around the cross cursor is displayed in 2x magnification, with blinking "ZOOM" displayed at the screen upper right, indicating that a ZOOM dis-play is being conducted. To cancel the ZOOM function, press the "ZOOM" key again or change the range scale. Note: Refer to "5.5.3.7 Enlarging selected areas (ZOOM)". ZOOM → Up/Down &Left/Right →ENT --------------- ZOOM setting (Move cross cursor) → (Select OFF) →ZOOM ZOOM canceled Note1: VRM2 and EBL2 do not follow the ZOOM function during a floating state. Note2: Normal screen returns when you change the range scale. Note3: ZOOM function is unusable in 3D/PPI screen. Note4: ZOOM function is unusable in OFF-C. Note5: Center of ZOOM can be set to any desired position within the set range. 5.4.20 Increasing sensitivity (S/L) The transmitting pulse length is automatically set as you change the range scale. However, on certain range scales, you have an option to select the pulse length to shorter or longer pulse length. Select the pulse length according to the navi-gational situation you are facing, shorter pulse lengths for better picture definition and longer pulse lengths for better range performance. As an adverse effect, the shorter pulse lengths may sacrifice the range performance and in turn, the longer pulse lengths lose the picture clarity compared with those selected as standard. Press the "S/L" key to select the Pulse length (LONG or SHORT). The pulse length changes L (Long) and S (Short) alternately. Note: Refer to "5.5.3.8 Increasing the sensitivity (S/L)". S/L → (Select SHORT) → Set to short pulse → or (Select LONG) → Set to long pulse 5.4.21 Switching the screen (SEL WIN) On the PPI+PPI mode display, you need to select an activated screen first for subsequent key operations like range scale, GAIN, STC, FTC, VRM and EBL. For example, you want to change the range scale on the PPI+PPI screen. Press the “SEL WIN” key to select an active screen. The range scale display will be reversed as a result, showing the screen is active. Press the UP or DOWN key to change the range. Note: Refer to "5.5.4.2 Switching screens on PPI/PPI screen ( SEL WIN )". SEL WIN → (Select right screen) → Right screen activated → or (Select left screen) → Left screen activated
43 5.4.22 Changing the color of screen (PICTURE) The display color can be changed according to daytime or nighttime operations. Press the "PICTURE " key to change the color. Note: Refer to "5.5.4.3 Changing the color of screen (PICTURE)". 5.4.23 Change to PPI screen ( PPI ) Press the "PPI" key to change the screen to the standard single PPI screen. 5.4.24 Change to SEMI3D/PPI screen ( SEMI3D ) Press the "SEMI3D" key to change the screen from other modes to the SEMI3D/PPI screen. Note: All controls, such as EBLs, VRMs are operative on both screens. The ZOOM, OFF-C, FL EBL2, and FL VRM2 could not be used on this mode. On the "SEMI3D" screen, the vertical center index line marked “000” indicates ship's heading direction. 5.4.25 Change to PPI/PPI screen ( PPI/PPI ) Press the "PPI/PPI" key to change the current screen to the PPI/PPI screen. Note: (1) Each radar picture is refreshed alternately. Right screen picture is held frozen while the left screen is updated, left screen held during the right screen refreshing. Therefore, each screen is updated every 2 antenna revolutions.

Note: The ZOOM, OFF-C, FL EBL2, and FL VRM2 can not be used in this mode. 5.4.27 Change to ALL PPI screen ( ALL PPI ) Press the "ALL PPI" key to change the current screen mode to ALL PPI screen mode. Note: (1) The range scale, rings interval and the display mode are shown in the upper left corner of the screen. (2) Return to PPI screen mode pressing a key except MENU, range UP or DOWN, or POWER key. 5.4.28 Change to ALL PPI/PPI screen ( ALL PPI2 ) Press the "ALL PPI2" key, the screen will change to ALL PPI/PPI screen. Use to change the screen from other modes to ALL PPI/PPI. Note: (1) The range, rings interval, display mode are displayed on the upper left of each screen. (2) Return to PPI/PPI screen mode pressing a key except MENU, range UP or DOWN, or POWER key. (3) Each radar picture is refreshed alternately. Right screen picture is held frozen while the left screen is updated, and vice versa. The picture update is therefore taking place every 2 antenna revolutions. When your ship navigates at high speed, use the PPI screen mode to allow fast refreshing pictures. 5.4.29 Canceling target tracking (DEL) To cancel tracking, use the DEL (delete) function. The number highlighted on the upper right of the screen will disappear. If ALL DEL (delete all) is selected, the ATA will cancel tracking of all targets. Press the soft key if the DEL function has been set. When operating from the MENU, place the cursor on NAVI/DEL and press the ENT key. When the radar is set to the SY'BY mode, the ATA will cancel tracking of all targets. 5.4.30 Canceling all target tracking (ALL DEL) To cancel tracking all target, use the ALL DEL (All delete) function. The number highlighted on the upper right of the screen will disappear. Press the soft key if the ALL DEL function has been set. When operating from the MENU, place the cursor on NAVI/ALL DEL and press the ENT key. When the radar is set to the SY'BY mode, the ATA will cancel tracking of all targets. 5.4.31 Data display (DATA) When necessary, numerical data of the current tracking target can be displayed in the data display window. Use the DATA function to display the numerical data of the number highlighted on the upper right corner of the screen. Press the soft key if the DATA function has been set. .75 .25 HU s + NAV DISPLAY WAY P 123.4° 6.8NM COURSE 2.38NM XTE <<<< HDG 267.3°T SPD 12.8KT TEMP 20.8°C DEPTH 58.3M LAT/LON 34° 08. 22N 138° 02 .53E PPI/NAV screen .75 .25 HU + ALL PPI screen .75 .25 HU S .25 .125 + ALL PPI/PPI screen
