CAUTION 
If a great value is set as a condition for deciding targets as 
identical, a tracking target near an AIS target is regarded as 
identical to the AIS target and it may not be displayed any 
more. 
For example, when a pilot boat (which is a small target not 
being tracked) equipped with an AIS function approaches a 
cargo ship as a tracking target not equipped with an AIS 
function, the tracking target symbol of the cargo ship may 
not be displayed any more. 
Since these alarms may include some errors depending on 
the target tracking conditions, the navigation officer 
himself should make the final decision for ship operations 
such as collision avoidance. 
Making the final navigation decision based only on the 
alarm may cause accidents such as collisions. 
Any adjustments must be made by specialized service 
personnel. 
Incorrect settings may result in unstable operation. 
Do not make any adjustments during navigation.  Failure 
to comply may result in adverse effects on the radar 
function which may lead to accidents or equipment failure. 
Optimal values have been set for Video Level and Vector 
Constant; therefore, never change their values unless 
absolutely necessary.  Failure to comply may result in 
accidents that would lower target tracking performance. 
Do not change the quantization level settings unless 
absolutely necessary.  If set at an inappropriate value, the 
target acquisition or target tracking function deteriorates, 
and this may lead to accidents.
