![1. OPERATION 31.3 Turning Power On/Off Press the [POWER/BRILL] key to turn on the power. The unit beeps, the startup screen appears, and then the equipment checks the ROM and RAM for proper operation and displays program number. The ROM and RAM check shows OK or NG (No Good). If NG appears, try to press any key except the [POWER/BRILL] key to start operation. However, the equipment may not work properly. Contact your dealer for advice. XX.XX = Program version no. ROM : OK RAM : OK Program No: 0359199-XX.XXFURUNO ELECTRIC CO., LTD.7" LCD MARINE RADAR Startup screen After the completion of the startup test, a timer displays the time remaining for warm up of the magnetron (the device which transmits radar pulses), counting down from 1:00 to 0:00. To turn off the power, press and hold down the [POWER/BRILL] key (about three seconds) until the screen goes blank. Provided that the radar was once in use with the transmitter tube (magnetron) still warm, you can turn the radar into TRANSMIT condition without 1-minute of warm-up. If the [POWER/BRILL] switch was accidentally turned off and you want to restart the radar promptly, turn on the [POWER/BRILL] switch not later than 15 seconds after power-off. Note 1: In a cold environment the screen appears “foggy” when the power is turned on but is soon restored to normal condition. Note 2: The example screens shown in this manual may not match the screens you see on your display. The screen you see depends on your system configuration and equipment settings. 1.4 Transmitting, Standby After the power is turned on and the magnetron has warmed up, “ST-BY” (Stand-by) appears, indicating the radar is ready to transmit radar pulses. To toggle between transmit and stand-by, do the following: 1. With the power turned on, press the [POWER/BRILL] key momentarily to show the brilliance/contrast adjustment window. CONT: 4 LOW HIGHBRILL: LOW HIGH9BRILL/CONTRAST[MODE]: TX/ST-BY[MENU/ESC] : Exit. Brilliance/contrast adjustment window 2. Press the [MODE] key to go to stand-by and transmit status alternately. Note: If you attempt to transmit before “ST-BY” appears, the beeps sound and the radar does not transmit pulses. Wait until “ST-BY” appears. 3. Press the [MENU/ESC] key to close the window. When radar pulses are transmitted the radar receiver is automatically tuned. Echoes appear in four levels of digitized video according to echo strength. When a target is beneath a marker (VRM, EBL, heading line, range ring) the part of the marker where the target lies is displayed in reverse video.](https://usermanual.wiki/Furuno-USA/9ZWRTR076/User-Guide-340099-Page-10.png)

CONT: 4 LOW HIGHBRILL: LOW HIGH9BRILL/CONTRAST[MODE]: TX/ST-BY[MENU/ESC] : Exit. Brilliance/contrast adjustment window 2. Press ◄ or ► to adjust contrast. 3. Press ▲ or ▼ to adjust brilliance. 4. Press the [MENU/ESC] key to escape. Note 1: Windows other than menu windows are erased when there is no operation within about 10 seconds. Note 2: The radar starts up with the last-used brilliance level after the startup screen appears. Therefore, adjust the brilliance if it is too low at startup. 1.6 Choosing the Range The range selected automatically determines the range ring interval, the number of range rings and pulse repetition rate. Press the [RANGE+] or [RANGE-] key to choose the range. The range and range ring interval appear at the top left corner on the screen. RangeRange ringinterval6.0 nm2.0RNG 03.2nmBRG 60.2°TTG 02H21MEBL - - - .-°VRM - - - -nm Location of range and range ring interval indications 1.7 Receiver Sensitivity The [GAIN] key adjusts the sensitivity (gain) of the receiver. It works in precisely the same manner as the volume control of a broadcast receiver, amplifying the signals received. To set the sensitivity, you first choose the automatic sensitivity setting which best matches current sea condition. Then, if necessary, you may fine tune the sensitivity manually. The proper setting is such that the background noise is just visible on the screen. If you set up for too little sensitivity, weak echoes may be missed. On the other hand excessive sensitivity yields too much background noise; weak targets may be missed because of the poor contrast between desired echoes and the background noise on the display. 1. Press the [GAIN] key consecutively until the display shown below appears.

Manual gain adjustment While observing the screen and the gain tuning bar, press ◄ or ► to adjust the gain. The setting range is 0-100. 3. Press the [MENU/ESC] key to finish. 1.8 Suppressing Sea Clutter In rough weather, returns from the sea surface, called sea clutter, are received over several miles around own ship and mask nearby targets. This situation can be improved by properly suppressing the sea clutter with the A/C SEA control. To set the A/C SEA, you first choose the automatic A/C SEA setting which best matches current sea conditions. Then, if necessary, you may fine tune the A/C SEA manually. In most cases suppress the clutter until it has disappeared to leeward, but a little is still visible windward. If the setting is too low, targets will be hidden in the clutter, while if it is set too high, both sea clutter and targets will disappear from the display. A common mistake is too over-suppress sea clutter so that it is completely removed. You can see how dangerous this can be by setting up for maximum A/C SEA: A dark zone will be created near the center of the screen, causing a loss of close-in targets. This dark zone is even more dangerous if the sensitivity has not been properly adjusted. Always leave a little sea clutter visible on the screen, first adjusting automatically and then fine tuning with the manual control as necessary. Sea clutter at screen center 1.

Press the [MENU/ESC] key to finish. 1.9 Suppressing Rain Clutter The vertical beamwidth of the antenna is designed to see surface targets even when the ship is rolling. However, by this design the antenna will also pick up rain clutter (rain, snow, or hail) in the same manner as normal targets. The illustration below shows the appearance of rain clutter on the display. The A/C RAIN control adjusts the receiver sensitivity as the A/C SEA control does but rather in a longer time period (longer range). The higher the setting the greater the anti-clutter effect. Rain clutter at screen center 1. Press the [GAIN] key consecutively until the display shown below appears. A/C RAIN[GAIN] : GAIN MENU[MENU/ESC] : Exit.65 A/C RAIN adjustment window 2.
