Press the MENU key to close the menu.

Caution on usage

• A/C auto may erase an echo covering a wide area, such as land or island. See the example

below.

• With A/C auto active, the level of a target obscured by sea clutter or rain clutter may be further

lowered. In this case switch to manual A/C Sea and manual A/C Rain and adjust the picture.
