5.5 Display of Radar Transponder
SART (Search and Radar Transponder) is life preserving device approved by GMDSS which is used for
locating survivors in the event of a disaster or distress. SART operates in the 9GHz frequency band. When
it receives a radar signal (interrogating radio wave) of 9GHz transmitted by a rescue ship or aircraft radar,
SART transmits a series of respouse signals to the searchers to indicate the distress position.
In order to see the SART or radar beacon mark on the radar screen.

When above settings q to y are made to display SART signals, objects around the own ship will not
appear on the radar screen, so perform thorough visual monitoring of the sea area around the own ship
to avoid any collision or stranding.
Further, when more than one radar systems are mounted, while using a 9GHz band radar for searching
SART signals, be sure to use another radar as an ordinary radar to perform monitoring of objects around
the own ship to avoid any collision, check of the position of the own ship to avoid any stranding, and so
on.
Need to return the set for normal operation on completeion.
