How to align the antenna heading

You have mounted the antenna unit facing straight ahead in the direction of the bow.

Therefore, a small but conspicuous target dead ahead visually should appear on the

heading line (zero degrees).

You may observe a minor bearing error on the display. This is due to the difficulty in

orienting the radar accurately. The following adjustment will compensate for the error.
