GMR 20/40 Owner’s Manual

In the Status Bar at the top of the Radar page, the message “Radar

Warming Up” is displayed with a countdown to Standby Mode. The

countdown to Standby Mode is also displayed in the middle of the

radar display. When the countdown reaches zero, the message “Hold

FCTN to transmit” is displayed.

As a safety feature, the scanner enters Standby Mode after it is

warmed up. This provides the operator an opportunity to verify

that the area around the scanner is clear before beginning radar

transmission. It is important to remember that the microwave energy

transmitted by the scanner can potentially be dangerous.

Caution: The GMR 20/40 Radar transmits microwave energy that

has the potential to be harmful to humans and animals. Before

beginning radar transmission, verify that the area around the

scanner is clear. The GMR 20/40 transmits a beam approximately

12° above and below a line extending horizontally from the center

of the scanner. Avoid looking directly at the scanner as the eyes

are the most susceptible part of the body.

When the area surrounding the scanner is clear, press and hold the

FCTN key. The message “Do you want to begin radar transmission?”

is displayed. Select Yes, then press the ENTER key. Before

transmission begins, the message “Spinning Up” is displayed while

the radar antenna reaches nominal rotation speed. When the message

disappears, the radar begins painting an image.
