Radar checks and alignment
Your E-Series display is part of an integrated system. Raymarine strongly advise that
you test and align the radar before connecting to other systems.
To test and align the radar you must first select a radar application. With the Select
Page Set screen displayed (see previous section):
1. Press OK to select the highlighted page set.
2. Press PAGE. The currently selected page set is represented on the soft keys.
3. Press the corresponding soft key to display a full window radar application.
4. The scanner warm-up countdown commences. This will take 70 seconds (approx).
Note:
If your scanner is incompatible, a message is displayed. If this is the case, you will be
unable to proceed further with testing and aligning the radar. Refer to Important Informa-
tion - Radar Scanners at the front of this handbook.

1. Press the RANGE button and ensure that the radar range adjusts accordingly.
2. Check that all the following information is displayed:
