Terminating tracking of targets
When the ARPA has acquired 20 targets
automatically, the message AUTO TAR-
GET FULL is displayed in the box at right-
hand side of the screen and no more auto
acquisition occurs unless targets are lost.
You may find this message before you set
an auto acquisition area. Should this hap-
pen, cancel tracking of less important tar-
gets or perform manual acquisition.
Individual targets
Place the cursor (+) on a target to cancel
tracking by operating the trackball. Press
the CANCEL key.
All targets
Press and hold the CANCEL key down
more than 3 seconds. In the automatic
acquisition mode, acquisition begins
again.
Discrimination between
landmass and true targets
A target is recognized as a landmass and
thus not acquired if it is 800 m or more in
range or bearing direction.
