Furuno FCR-28x9 Manual De Usuario

After the power is turned on and the magnetron has warmed, 
"ST-BY" appears at the screen center, meaning the radar is 
ready to transmit radar pulses. You can transmit by pushing 
the STBY/TX key on the Control Unit, or clicking the [STBY 
TX] button on the Status bar.

The radar is initially set to previously used range and pulse length. Other settings such 
as brilliance levels, VRMs, EBLs and menu option selections are also set to previous 
settings.

The STBY/TX key (or [STBY TX] button) toggles the radar between STBY and 
TRANSMIT state. The antenna is stopped in stand-by and rotates in transmit. Set the 
radar in standby when its use is not required, to conserve the life of the magnetron.

After the radar is transmitting, adjust the receiver to the exact frequency of the trans-
mitter, automatically or manually. The current tuning method and tuning status is 
shown at the top-left position.

Automatic tuning is initialized during the installation. However, if you feel that automat-
ic tuning is not working properly try re-initializing the tuning. Right-click the [TUNE] but-
ton then select [Tune initialize] to start the initialization.

Click the [TUNE] button on the InstantAccess bar to display [TUNE AUTO].

To tune the radar, start by setting the brilliance to a comfortable level, adjusting the 
gain until the background speckle just disappears, and selecting the 48-mile range. 
Then, do the following:

[STBY TX] button

[TUNE] button
TUNE MAN: Manual tuning
TUNE AUTO: Automatic tuning
