If there is too much noise on the radar display of your Simrad Scanner, the tuning setting may be incorrect. Try adjusting the tuning to resolve this issue.
Why are echo images blurred on my Simrad Scanner radar display?
Blurred echo images on your Simrad Scanner's radar display can occur if the Gain, Sea, or Rain settings are not properly adjusted. Try adjusting these settings to improve the clarity of the echo images.
What to do if Simrad Scanner is not responding?
If your Simrad Scanner is not responding, it might be due to a damaged cable or one that is not firmly attached to the display unit. Check the cable connecting the scanner to the display unit and ensure it is firmly attached. Turn the plug as far as it will go into the receptacle marked ‘RADAR’ on the rear of the cabinet and turn the plug’s coupling ring clockwise until it’s tight.
Why does the echo image on my Simrad Scanner radar display differ from the actual image?
If the echo image on your Simrad Scanner radar display differs from the actual image, the ship’s heading may be incorrect. Try adjusting the ship’s heading.
