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 Marine Radar 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.
How to improve range discrimination on Furuno Marine Radar?
To improve discrimination in range on your Furuno Marine Radar due to wave echoes, adjust the A/C SEA control.
What to do if Furuno 1945 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.
Why Furuno 1945 is correctly tuned but sensitivity is poor?
If your Furuno Marine Radar is correctly tuned but the sensitivity is poor, turn off the [2nd Echo Rejector] from the [Echo] menu. Also, clean the radiator. Check the magnetron current with the radar transmitting on 48 nm range and replace the magnetron if the current is below normal. Check MIC detecting current, if MIC detecting current is below normal value, MIC may have become detuned.
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 1945 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 1945 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.
