Radar Mode
This section explains how to switch the radar display and scanner on and off,
and how to switch the scanner between Transmit, Standby and Scanner Off
mode.
Younormally operateyour radar in transmitmode, butyoucan usethe display
unit without the scanner operating as follows:
Standby mode: You should use this mode when you are not operating the
radar for short time periods. The scanner does not transmit and the antenna
does not rotate, so the radar uses less power. However, the scanner remains
poweredso when youreturnto transmitmode,the magnetron doesnotneed to
warm up.
Scanner off mode: You should use this mode when you do not require the
radar,but youare usingthe display unit say, for chart data orto viewdata from
another source. Scanner off mode removes power from the scanner.
