Attention
z When the SART function is set to ON to detect the SART signal, small
targets around own ship will disappear from the radar display. So it is
necessary to exercise full surveillance over the conditions around own
ship by visual watch in order to avoid any collision or stranding.
If two or more sets of radar equipment are installed on own ship, use
one set of 9 GHz band radar for detection of the SART signal and
operate others as normal radars for avoiding collision, monitoring
targets around own ship, and checking on own ship’s position and
avoidance of stranding.
After end of detecting the START signal, turn the START display off.
Then the radar returns normally to the nautical mode.
