3 Basic Operation of ECDIS 3-37
ECDIS
3.3.8 Displaying the Radar Image ([RADAR])
You can turn ON/OFF the radar image on the chart. The radar image can be adjusted with the dials on the
operation panel.
Note:
• To display a radar image, the optional radar board must be installed on the unit. Also, a radar
image must be sent from the radar system.
• It is not possible to display the image from the Radar in chart conversion by “Chart Portfolio”.
• If the radar system displays a short-range image, and a long-range image on the ECDIS at the
same time, the radar image on the ECDIS may be distorted.
• While the radar image is displayed, the display range can be changed in 10 steps (0.5/0.75/1.5/3/6/
12/24/48/96/120nm).
• If Display Color is [DAY1] or [DAY2], Display Color changes [DAY3] when radar display turn on.
• For ARCS, the available display range differs depending on the chart displayed. If a display range
beyond 120nm is selected, the radar image will be turned off automatically.
