1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
1-9
Course-up mode
The course-up mode is an azimuth stabilized dis-
play in which a line connecting the center with the 
top of the display indicates own ship's intended 
course (namely, own ship's previous heading just 
before this mode has been selected).
Target pips are painted at their measured dis-
tances and in their directions relative to the 
intended course, which is maintained at the 0-
degree position. The heading line moves in accor-
dance with ship's yawing and course change. This 
mode is useful to avoid smearing of picture during 
course change. 
North-up mode
The north-up mode paints target pips at their measured dis-
tances and in their true (heading sensor) directions from own 
ship, north bearing maintained at the top of the screen. The 
heading line changes its direction according to the ship's 
heading. 
True motion mode
Own ship and other moving objects move in accordance with 
their true courses and speed. In ground stabilized TM, all 
fixed targets, such as landmasses, appear as stationary 
echoes. 
When own ship reaches a point corresponding to 75% of the 
radius of the display, own ship position is automatically reset 
to a point of 75% radius opposite to the extension of the 
heading line passing through the display center. You may 
also reset the own ship symbol manually by pressing the OFF 
CENTER key. The method of resetting is the same as men-
tioned above.
