3. Adjust the STC referring to paragraph

1.9 on page 4.

A small but conspicuous target dead ahead
visually should appear on the heading line
(zero degrees). In practice, you will
probably observe some small error on the

display. The following adjustment will
compensate for this error, up to ±30

°

.

1. Identify a suitable target (for example,

ship or buoy) at a range between 0.125
to 0.25 miles, preferably near the
heading line. To minimize error, keep
echoes in the outer half of the picture by
changing the range.

2. Press and hold down and together

(about 10 seconds) to display the
