5-8 E-Series Networked Display Reference Manual
• Vertical objects such as cliffs reflect signals better than sloping ones such as sand-
banks
• High coastlines and mountainous coastal regions can be observed at longer radar
ranges. Therefore, the first sight of land may be a mountain several miles inland
from the coastline. Although the coastline may be much nearer, it may not appear
on the radar until the vessel is closer to shore.
• Some targets, such as buoys and small boats, can be difficult to discern, because
they do not present a consistent reflecting surface as they bob and toss about in the
waves. Consequently, these echoes tend to fade and brighten and at times, to dis-
appear momentarily.
• Buoys and small boats often resemble each other, but boats can often be distin-
guished by their motion.
What does the status bar tell me?
The status bar at the top of the radar picture provides at-a-glance information about
the picture and your selected settings.
5.5 How can I change what I see in the radar window?
The radar screen can be tailored to your particular needs. You can:
• Change how the radar is orientated (see
page 5-8
).
• Change where your boat is positioned (motion mode) in relation to the radar (see
page 5-9
).
• Show or hide waypoints (see
page 4-13
).
• Show or hide range rings (see
page 5-10
).
• Change the bearing mode for EBLs (see
page 5-11
).
Setting the orientation of the radar
The orientation of the radar refers to the relationship between the radar and the
direction that you are travelling in. It is used in conjunction with motion mode (see
page 5-9
) to control how your boat and radar relate to one another and how they are
displayed on screen. Any changes that you make to the orientation of the radar are
retained when you switch off. There are three orientation modes to choose from:
Head Up (H-UP)
Head Up mode displays the radar picture with your boat’s current heading (SHM)
upwards. As the heading changes the radar picture rotates accordingly.
