1.5 Tuning the Receiver
Auto tune
The radar receiver is tuned automatically
each time the power is turned on, thus
there is no front panel control for tuning
purpose. The tuning indicator and the la-
bel AUTO TUNE at the top right corner of
the display unit show the tuning circuit is
working. If the label AUTO TUNE is not
displayed, check that the TUNE selector
in tuning compartment is in the AUTO
position.
Manual tune
If you are not satisfied with the current
auto tune setting, follow these steps to
fine-tune the receiver:
1. Set the TUNE selector in the tuning
compartment to MAN for manual tun-
ing.

mile scale, slowly adjust TUNE control
and find the best tuning point.
4. So the TUNE selector to AUTO and
wait for about 10 seconds or four scan-
ner rotations.

Video Lockup Recovery
Video lockup, or picture freeze, can occur unex-
pectedly on digital rasterscan radars. This is
mainly caused by heavy spike noise in the power
line and can be noticed by carefully watching the
nearly invisible sweep line. If you suspect that the
picture is not updated every scan of the antenna
or no key entry is accepted notwithstanding the
apparently normal picture, do Quick Start to
restore normal operation:
1. Turn of the power switch and turn it on again
within five seconds.
2. Push the ST-BY switch in the tuning compart-
ment.
3. Push the Transmit switch labeled ST-BY/TX
for Transmit status.
