2. Select

3. Select

4. Select
EDIT next to the Radar Open Array Parking Angle option, then

27.4 Change the range of the radar
You can change the range (scale) of the Radar screen to show more or less detail,
as desired.
Any change is applied to the range of all other Radar screens on your vessel, plus
the zoom setting of all the Chart screens displaying a radar overlay. Additionally,
zooming in or out on a Chart screen that has a radar overlay also adjusts the range
of the radar.
When you change the range, the settings for the range rings also changes
automatically. The current settings are shown in the radar status bar.
To change the range:
1. Display the Radar screen and control panel. Select In or Out to
change the range by one step, and then repeat this until the Radar
screen is at the desired range.
27.5 Change the radar bearing alignment
Use the radar bearing alignment to rotate Radar image, one degree at a time, so
that a known object dead ahead is directly under the vessel's heading marker.
This means that the Radar image is aligned with the displayed chart and the
compass. An accurate bearing alignment is particularly important when the radar
image is overlain onto the chart.
It's best to do this on a page showing a Chart screen with the radar overlay On in
one pane, and a Radar screen in the other pane.
To change the radar bearing alignment:
1. Select
Pages. If you:
ƒ don't have a page that shows the Radar screen in one pane and the
Chart screen in the other pane, edit or create a page that shows
these two screens. See "Edit a Page" in the Northstar Quickstart
Guide.
ƒ do have a page that shows the Radar screen in one pane and the
Chart screen in the other, select it.
