After the power is applied, the program starts up and about one minute later the bear-
ing scale appears. The radar then goes into three minutes of warm-up time to warm
the magnetron, which transmits radar pulses. The timer at the center of the screen
counts the time remaining for warm-up. When the timer shows 0:00, the indication
"ST-BY" appears at the screen center. The radar is now ready to transmit radar puls-
es. In the stand-by condition, no radar pulses are transmitted and TT nor AIS is active.
