The ADVANCED SET UP option allows you to set up values for the following 
three parameters that affect the fine-tuning of the radar. Advanced settings 
are only available from the Master radar display (that is, the display con-
nected to the scanner).

Note: Under normal circumstances you will not need to adjust these settings, 
as they are set automatically at the factory. If these parameters are set incor-
rectly the performance of the radar will be adversely affected. Access to the 
menu is therefore via a hidden key press.

➤ To change the settings:

1. Press the MENU key to display the set up soft keys.

2. Press and hold the blank soft key directly to the right of the RADAR SET UP 

soft key for 5 seconds. The Advanced Settings menu is then displayed.

3. Use the trackpad to move the selection bar to the required option.

4. Use the soft keys to increase or decrease the slider setting. As soon as you 

start to adjust the setting, the menu page is cleared so that you can see the 
effects of the adjustment on the radar picture, and the radar is set to 1/8nm 
range.

5. Press ENTER to display the menu again.

6. Press CLEAR to return to the Menu soft keys, and CLEAR again to return to 

normal operation.

➤ If required, you can recall the factory defaults for this page. To do so, move the 

selection bar to the SCANNER RESET option, press the ADVANCED SETTING 
RESET soft key, and press the YES soft key to confirm.

If you extended the inter-unit cable, you should have set the display timing 
when you first installed your system, as described in Radar System Checks 
and Adjustments on page 8-17.
