1.8 Initializing the Gyro Readout
When a gyrocompass is interfaced with the radar, ship’s heading is displayed at the top
right-hand corner of the screen. Upon turning on the radar, align the on-screen HDG read-
out with the gyrocompass reading by the procedure shown below. Once you have set the
initial heading correctly, resetting is not usually required. However, if the HDG readout
goes wrong for some reason, repeat the procedure to correct it.
