Overview of display unit controls
The radar systems are mainly operated with controls of the display unit (and
remote controller). Ten keys are labeled and they provide the function shown on
their labels. The five soft keys provide various functions according to current
operating mode. The [ENTER] knob mainly functions to register selections on
the menu and enter alphanumeric data. The cursor pad’s main function is to
move the cursor across the screen. Whenever you operate a key, a single beep
confirms operation. Invalid operation causes the unit to emit three beeps.
