Radar Display Modes
The Radar screen has four standard operating modes. Each mode is available for use only with a
compatible radar.
Cruising mode—shows a full-screen image of the gathered radar information.
Harbor mode—intended for use in inland waters, this mode works best with short-range radar
signals (2 nm or less).
Offshore mode—intended for use in open waters, this mode works best with long-range radar
signals.
Sentry mode—allows you to put the radar into timed-transmit mode, in which you can congure
a radar transmit and standby cycle to conserve power. You can also enable a guard zone in Sentry
mode, which identies a safe zone around your boat.
