Displays the name of the connected radar scanner.

N/A

Orientation:RadarOrientation

The orientation setting determines how the radar image is displayed onscreen in relation to your vessel.

• Head-up — The top of the screen always points towards your vessel’s current heading and as your heading changes the radar image rotates accordingly. In head-up the motion mode is fixed to relative motion.

• North-up — The top of the screen always points towards north and as your vessel’s heading changes the SHM rotates accordingly.

• Course-up — In course-up the top of the screen always points towards your destination and as your heading changes the SHM rotates accordingly.

Motion modeRadarMotion mode

Motion mode determines whether your vessel remains in a fixed position onscreen or moves relative to other moving objects.

• Relative motion — The position of your vessel remains fixed onscreen and the radar image moves relative to your position. In relative motion mode you can adjust your vessel’s onscreen position using the boat position setting.

• True motion — Stationary radar targets remain fixed and moving targets, including your vessel, move in true perspective to each other and to landmass. As your vessel’s position reaches the edge of the screen, the image is redrawn to reveal the area ahead.

Boat positionRadarBoat position

Boat position determines the position of your vessel onscreen. You can adjust the boat position to provide a greater distance ahead of your vessel.

• Center — Vessel position is in the center of the screen

• Partial offset — Vessel position is partially offset from the center to provide greater distance in front of your vessel.

• Full offset — Vessel position is fully offset to provide the maximum distance in front of your vessel.

Range rings:RadarRange rings

Enables and disables display of range rings.

• On

• Off

Range ring labels:RadarRange ring labels

Enables and disables display of distance labels on each range ring.

• On

• Off

Show AIS targets in radar:RadarAIS

Enables and disables the display of AIS targets.

• On

• Off

Silent mode (don’t transmit my position):AISSilent mode

Enables and disables your vessel’s transmission of AIS data.

• On

• Off

Hide static targets:AISStatic targets

Enables and disables the display of static AIS targets.

• On

• Off

Color palette:RadarColor palette

Allows selection of the color palette.

List of color palettes.

VRM/EBL reference:RadarVRM/EBL

Determines the reference point used for VRM/EBLs.

• True/Mag

  When set to True/Mag bearing is measured from the display’s selected bearing reference (i.e.: True or Magnetic north). The display’s bearing reference can be specified from the Units menu: Homescreen > Units > Bearing.

• Relative

  When set to Relative bearings are taken from the Ships Heading Marker (SHM).

Interference rejection:RadarInterference rejection

Suppresses interference from other close by radar scanners.

• On

• Off

IR level:RadarIR level

Determines the level of suppression used. The higher the suppression the less interference will be displayed.

• Level 1 (lowest suppression)

• Level 2

• Level 3

• Level 4

• Level 5 (highest suppression)

Main Bang Suppression (MBS):radarMBS

MBS eliminates saturation which appears immediately around your vessel.

• On

• Off

Target expansion:radarTarget expansion

When enabled, increases the radar pulse length to provide larger target returns.

• On

• Off

Bearing alignment:RadarBearing alignment

Enables you to align the radar image correctly in relation to your vessel’s bow.

• 179.5° Port to 180° Starboard

Sea clutter curve (manual mode):RadarSea clutter

When the sea sensitivity control is set to manual the sea clutter curve setting is available.

Radar echoes produced by waves can make it difficult to distinguish between waves and real objects. these echoes are known as ‘sea clutter’.

The sea clutter curve setting adjusts your radar scanner’s sensitivity to sea clutter. The higher setting will display less sea clutter.

• 1

Transmit frequencyRadarTransmit frequency

Changing the transmit frequency can reduce interference on the radar image by shifting the frequency band used by your radar scanner.

• Low

• Normal

• High
