Change the radar bearing alignment
Use the radar bearing alignment to rotate
Radar image, one degree at a time, so that a known
object dead ahead is directly under the vessel's heading marker.
This means that the
Radar image is aligned with the displayed chart and the compass. An
accurate bearing alignment is particularly important when the radar image is overlain onto the
chart.
It's best to do this on a page showing a
Chart screen with the radar overlay on in one pane and
a
Radar screen in the other pane.
To change the radar bearing alignment:
• Select Pages. If you:
-
don't have a page that shows the
Radar screen in one pane and the Chart screen in
the other pane, edit or create a page that shows these two screens.
-
do have a page that shows the
Radar screen in one pane and the Chart screen in the
other, select it.
• Check that the Chart screen has the Radar Overlay turned On.
• Select the Radar pane so that it becomes the active pane. If you can't see the Adjust
Radar button, select Return.
• Select Adjust Radar, then select Installation.
• The Bearing Alignment button shows the current setting. Select it to change the
setting. Use the Up and Down buttons to move the radar image one degree at a time,
until the radar overlay is aligned with the chart.
• Select OK.
• Select Return.
