This radar has the following presentation
modes: Head-up, Head-up/TB, Course-up,

right side of the display unit. Each time the
[MODE] key is pressed, the presentation
mode and mode indication at the upper-left
corner of the screen change cyclically.

Note: When a failure occurs in the gyrocom-
pass, the radar will automatically be switched
to unstabilized presentation mode. All com-
pass related data will read Relative values.

Description

Head-up Mode

A display without azimuth stabilization in which
the line connecting the center with the top of the
display indicates own ship’s heading.

The target pips are painted at their measured dis-
tances and in their directions relative to own ship’s
heading.

A short line on the bearing scale is the north marker
indicating compass north. A failure of the compass
input will cause the north marker to disappear and
the HDG readout to show asterisks xxx.x

°.

Head-up TB (True Bearing) Mode

Radar echoes are shown in the same way as in the
head-up mode. The difference from normal head-up
presentation lies in the orientation of the bearing
scale. The bearing scale is compass stabilized, that
is, it rotates in accordance with the compass signal,
enabling you to know own ship’s heading at a glance.

This mode is available only when the radar is inter-
faced with a compass.

If the compass fails, the bearing scale returns to the
state of head-up mode.

The bearing scale rotates with
a compass signal.
