3.10.7 Moving EBL/VRM data boxes
When an EBL/VRM data box is obscuring a target you want to see, you can
move it to another location as shown below. This cannot be done when the
EBL/VRM soft keys are shown.
1. Press the [EBL/VRM] key to turn off the EBL/VRM soft keys.
2. Using the cursor pad, move the cursor inside the data box you wish to move.
As the cursor enters the box it changes to a “hand.” Push the [ENTER] knob,
and the hand changes to a fist, meaning the data box is correctly selected.
3. Use the cursor pad to move the data box to the location desired, then push
the [ENTER] knob.

There are two ways to measure the bearing to a target: by the cursor, and by the
EBL (Electronic bearing Line).
3.11.1 Measuring bearing by cursor
Use the cursor pad to place the cursor at the center of the target. The bearing to
the target appears in the range and bearing box at the bottom right-hand corner
on the screen.

1. Press the [EBL/VRM] key.
2. Press the EBL1 ON (dotted line EBL) or EBL2 ON (dashed line EBL) soft key
to select the desired EBL. The selected EBL’s indication, at the bottom of the
screen, is highlighted.
3. Rotate the [ENTER] knob to bisect the radar target with the EBL. Read the
EBL indication to find the bearing to the target.
4. You may hide the EBL/VRM soft keys by pressing the [EBL/VRM] key.
