Why Furuno Marine Radar power cannot be turned on?
If the power cannot be turned on for your Furuno Marine Radar, the issue may be with the mains voltage/polarity. Correct the wiring and input voltage. Alternatively, the power supply board may need to be replaced.
What to do if Furuno 1835 data and marks not displayed in transmit?
If data and marks are not displayed in transmit, replace the SPU board.
What to do if Furuno Marine Radar has no response when a key is pressed?
If your Furuno Marine Radar is not responding when a key is pressed, turn the power off and on. If you still do not get a response, the key may be damaged.
Why marks, indications and noise appear but no echo on Furuno Marine Radar?
If marks, indications, and noise appear but no echo (and the transmission leak representing your ship position is absent) on your Furuno Marine Radar, check the magnetron current. If the issue persists, replace the modulator board or the SPU board.
What to do if Furuno Marine Radar key is not responding?
Turn off and on the power. If you do not get a response, the key is damaged and you should contact your dealer for instructions.
What to do if target is not tracked correctly because of sea clutter on Furuno Marine Radar?
If targets are not tracked correctly on your Furuno Marine Radar due to sea clutter, adjust the A/C SEA and A/C RAIN controls.
How to fix antenna not rotating on Furuno Marine Radar?
If the antenna is not rotating on your Furuno Marine Radar, replace the antenna drive mechanism.
How to fix poor discrimination in range because of many echoes from the waves on Furuno Marine Radar?
To improve discrimination in range on your Furuno Marine Radar when there are many echoes from waves, adjust the A/C SEA control.
What to do if Furuno 1835 Marine Radar picture not updated or picture freeze-up?
If your Furuno Marine Radar picture isn't updating or the picture freezes, check that the signal cables are fastened. If that doesn't solve the issue, the SPU board may need replacement. You can also try turning the radar off and on.
What to do if Furuno 1835 Marine Radar range is changed but radar picture does not change?
If you change the range on your Furuno Marine Radar and the picture doesn't change, try operating the RANGE key again. If that doesn't work and you cannot operate the RANGE key, replace the keypad. Alternatively, the SPU board may need replacing, or try turning the radar off and on.
