2.2 Switching the Display On and Off
This section explains how to switch the radar display and scanner on and off,
and how to switch the scanner between Transmit, Standby and Scanner Off
mode.
You normally operate your radar in transmit mode, but you can use the display
unit without the scanner operating as follows:
Standby mode: You should use this mode when you are not operating the
radar for short time periods. The scanner does not transmit and the antenna
does not rotate, so the radar uses less power. However, the scanner remains
powered so when you return to transmit mode, the magnetron does not need to
warm up.
Scanner off mode: You should use this mode when you do not require the
radar, but you are using the display unit say, to view data from another source.
Scanner off mode removes power from the scanner.
➤ To switch the display on, press and hold the POWER key until the unit beeps.
The keys light up, the display shows the Pathfinder graphic, followed by the
start-up information illustrated below, and the radar starts the magnetron
warm-up sequence.

After 70 seconds, when the magnetron warm-up sequence is complete, the
Standby screen is displayed, with the text
STANDBY and a prompt to press the
POWER key to enter Transmit mode.
