2.23 Watchman
The watchman function periodically transmits
the radar for about one minute to check for
targets in the guard zone. If a target has
entered or exited the guard zone the aural
alarm sounds, watchman is canceled and the
radar starts transmitting. This feature is useful
when you do not need to observe the radar
continuously but want to be alerted to radar
targets in the guard zone. When the radar starts
transmitting, the buzzer sounds to alert the
operator.
