3. Press the [ENTER/SELECT] key to tune. When tuning is completed a beep

5.3 Heading Alignment
You have mounted the scanner unit facing straight ahead in the direction of the
bow. Therefore, a small but conspicuous target dead ahead visually should ap-
pear on the heading marker (zero degrees).
Set heading alignment for both main display and sub display (if installed).
In practice, you will probably observe some small bearing error on the display
because of the difficulty in achieving accurate initial positioning of the scanner
unit. The following adjustment will compensate for this error.

menu.
2. Select a target echo (by gyrocompass, for example) at a range between 0.125
and 0.25 nm, preferably near the heading marker.
3. Operate the EBL control to bisect the target echo with the heading line. (The
value shown on the display is scanner position in relation to ship's bow.)
4. Press the [ENTER/SELECT] key to finish.
