The fixed rings are used to estimate the distances to the targets.
The interval between range rings is displayed at the upper left of the

DISPLAY MODE (BEARING)
There are three bearing modes.
[HUP]
Most radar operators are familiar with seeing the radar picture aligned
with the bow of the vessel. This type of radar display orientation makes
it easy to look out the windshield and identify the radar’s targets as they
are positioned relative to the ship’s Heading line.
[NUP]
North up mode means the radar picture is positioned just like your
marine chart. 000˚ on the radar bearing scale is the same as True or
Magnetic North.
This mode requires an appropriate Heading input via COMPASS input
or NMEA input.
[CUP]
If having the radar picture turned around on the screen in the NUP
mode is confusing, you could select the CUP mode. The CUP mode
lets you rotate the radar picture so the vessel’s basic Course Heading
(and the Heading line) point at 000˚ on the bearing scale, similar to the
HUP mode. In CUP mode you can again reference the targets by
looking out the front window.
Note however, if the vessel changes direction, the radar picture will not
shift on the radar display in sync with the ship’s Heading changes. This
keeps all target plots stable and also provides a clear visual reference to
the operator on the impact of the vessel’s Heading shifts to the targets
around his vessel.
This mode requires an appropriate Heading input via COMPASS input
or NMEA input.
