z  The reference target function is to be used if the own ship's 
speed cannot be displayed normally due to trouble such as a 
speed sensor malfunction. Do not use the reference target 
function except in emergencies. 
z  If the speed or course of the own ship is changed or a new 
reference target is set, the displayed speed may take 3 
minutes or more to reach the specified speed after the speed 
/ course change or the setting. 
Even after 3 minutes or more has passed, the speed may 
differ from the specified speed depending on the tracking 
condition.
 
z  If a large radar echo such as a land target is set as a 
reference target, the vectors of the speed and other tracking 
targets will not be displayed correctly and may cause an 
accident. 
z  If a sailing ship is set as a reference target, the vectors of the 
speed and other tracking targets will not be displayed 
correctly and may cause an accident. 
z  If the reference target is lost or the target tracking function is 
stopped, the speed sensor is placed in manual mode    MAN .
z  The loss of a reference target may have a major impact on 
the accuracy of the results for true speed and true course of 
the target and that own speed. 
z  The reference targets are only used for the calculation of true 
speed.
