1.1.1 Radar Control Unit RCU-025
The Radar Control Unit RCU-025 consists of various controls and a trackball module
(trackball, scrollwheel and left and right buttons). The trackball module functions like
a PC mouse. The user rolls the trackball and operates the left and right buttons and
the scrollwheel to do various functions.
When you press the correct key, a single beep sounds to alert you to correct opera-
tion. For wrong operation, several beeps sound. You can select the loudness of the
beep or deactivate the beep on the [Customize] menu.
