ATTENTION
Immediately after radar installation, after replacement of the magnetron or if the system has not been operated
for a long time, set the system to the standby mode and leave it as it is for 20 to 30 minutes before setting it
to the transmit mode.
Insufficient warming-up may cause sparks inside the magnetron and may make its oscillation unstable.
Start the transmitting mode with the short-pulse range and then go on to the long-pulse range. If the oscillation
becomes unstable during the period, immediately reset the system to the standby mode, leave it as it is for 5
to 10 minutes and restart the system. Repeat this until the system comes to oscillate stably.
