Bearing alignment
The radar’s bearing alignment ensures that radar echoes (objects) appear at the correct bearing relative to your vessel’s bow. You should check the bearing alignment for any new installation.
Checking alignment

Reduce the gain sensitivity control to make the target as small as possible on the screen.
Note the position of the object on the screen. If the object is not under the ship’s heading marker (SHM), then bearing alignment is required.
Adjusting alignment
Adjust the Bearing alignment setting until the target object appears under the SHM.
