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 ap-

pear on the heading line (zero degrees).

In practice, you will probably observe some small bearing error on the display be-

cause of the difficulty in achieving accurate initial positioning of the antenna unit.

The following adjustment will compensate for the error.

1) Set your radar with 0.125 and 0.25 nm range and the head up mode.

You can select a range by a pinch action. The range and range ring interval

appear at the bottom left of the screen.

2) Turn the vessel’s bow toward a target.

3) Press the Home key, then select [Menu] icon, [Radar], and [Antenna Heading

Align] in that order to show the numeric software keyboard.

4) Key in the offset value so that the target becomes at the very top of the screen

(setting range: +/- 0° to 180°, +: clockwise direction, -: counterclockwise direc-

tion), then tap [Save].

5) Confirm that the target echo is displayed at correct bearing on the screen.
