1.19 Measuring Range and
Bearing Between Two
Targets
Press the EBL OFFSET key, and place
the origin of No.1 EBL, for example, on a
target of interest (target 1 in the illustrated
example) by operating the trackball.
Turn the EBL control until the EBL passes
through another target of interest (target
2).
Turn the VRM control until the range
marker aligns with target 2. The active
VRM readout at the lower-right corner of
the screen indicates the distance between
the two targets.
You can repeat the same procedure on
third and forth targets (targets 3 and 4)
by using No.2 EBL and No.2 VRM.
Bearing is shown relative to own ship with
suffix "R" or as a true bearing with suffix
"T" depending on EBL relative/true set-
tings on the RADAR 2 menu. To return
the EBL origin to the own ship position,
press the EBL OFFSET key again.

1.20 Setting a Guard Zone
(Guard Alarm)
CAUTION
The guard zone (guard alarm) feature
should never be relied upon as the sole
means for detecting the risk of potential
collision. The operator of a ship is not
relieved of the responsibility to keep visual
lookout for avoiding collisions, whether or
not the radar is in use.
A guard zone (guard alarm) may be set
to alert the navigator to targets (ships,
landmasses, etc.) entering a certain area
with visual and audible alarms.
The guard zone (guard alarm) has a fixed
width of 0.5 nm in the radial direction and
is adjustable only within 3.0 to 6.0 nm from
own ship. The guard zone (guard alarm)
can be set to any sector angle between 0
and 360 degrees in any direction.
To set a guard zone (guard alram):
1. Place the cursor (+) at point "A" (see
figure at the top of the next page) us-
ing the trackball and press the GUARD
ALARM key on the mode panel (left key
group). The message SET GUARD
appears at the bottom-right corner of
the screen.
