1.21 Watchman
Watchman transmits the radar for one minute
to check if a target has entered or exited the
guard zone from the previous transmission. If
no change is found, the radar goes into
standby for the number of minutes set for the
watchman feature. If change is found, the
audio alarm sounds, watchman is canceled
and the radar transmits. This feature is useful
for extending the life of the magnetron.
