2.3 Turning the Radar On and
Off
Turning the radar on
Press the [POWER] key to turn the radar on
or off. The control panel lights and a timer
displays the time remaining for warm up of
the magnetron (the device which produces
radar pulses), counting down from 2:30
(MODEL 841) or 1:30 (MODEL 821) to
0:01.
Note: When the power is reapplied within a
certain amount of time and circuits remain
charged, the warmup process is skipped—you
can transmit immediately.
Note: When the heading signal is lost, the HDG
readout at the top of the screen shows ***.*.
This warning stays on when the heading sig-
nal is restored to warn the operator that the
readout may be unrealiable. The warning may
be erased by pressing the [DISP MODE] key,
CAUTION
The radar antenna emits high frequency
radio radiation which can be harmful,
particularly to your eyes. Never look
directly at the antenna from a distance of
less than two feet when the radar is in
operation. Always make sure no one is near
the antenna before turning on the radar.
