21.3 Stop the radar transmitting
To stop the radar transmitting:
1. Select
Display, then select Radar.
2. The
Radar Mode button shows the current radar mode as Transmit.
Select the button to display a drop down list of choices.
3. Select:
ƒ Standby to stop transmitting immediately, but keep the radar
ready to transmit again.
ƒ Off to turn the radar off completely. This saves on power
consumption and magnetron usage (but you must turn it on and
wait for it to warm up before you can use it again).
4. The radar will remain in the selected mode until you change it.
21.4 What does the radar screen show?
The default Radar screen shows the following items, but you can show/hide, or
change many of these to suit your own preferences:
•
a status bar along the top (see "What does the status bar show?)
•
range rings. The number of range rings and the spacing interval between
them is automatically set, according to the range setting. (If you want to
change the range of the radar, refer to the radar Installation Manual.)
•
North indicator. This shows the direction of True North (0°).
•
heading marker. This extends from your vessel and shows the direction that
your vessel is heading.
