3.4 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-

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.

SETTING1 menu.

2. Select a target echo (by gyrocompass, for example) at a range between 0.125

and 0.25 nm, preferably near the heading line.

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 [ENTER] to finish.
