Standard Display: Objects less important than base display, such as drying line, indication of fixed and floating aids
to navigation and boundaries of fairways, channels, etc.
Other Display: Other objects, such as spot soundings, submarine cables and pipelines, ferry routes and details
of all isolated dangers.
About the display in the chart area: You will see all layers being selected.
For better understanding, you can think that various layers are
used to make up the chart display. For example, standard display
consists of the base display and information (objects) for Layer

cannot select Azimuth mode.
1) Motion mode (True/Relative/Free):

True Land and other fixed objects are fixed on the display and only own ship moves on the display.
When own ship reaches the predetermined limit, the chart is automatically shifted so that own ship
always remains on the screen.
Relative Own ship is fixed at the center of the screen and the fixed objects such as land move relatively.
Free You can freely rotate the chart on the display regardless of the own ships direction of travel. Also,
as the ship goes, it move and will disappear from the screen.

North Up The chart is displayed so that the chart always orients the north. Fixed objects do not flicker and
are easily identified on the chart, and the true bearing of the objects can readily be read out.
Course Up The chart automatically rotates so that the own ship always faces up on the display.
WPT Up The chart automatically rotates so that To WPT up on the display.

3) Mode change caused by the operation:

In the following cases, the motion/azimuth mode will be automatically changed from the current mode to
another one.
From [True] mode to [Free] mode:
- When the own ship goes exceeding the display limit of the screen.
- When a chart where the ship does not exist is displayed by loading a new chart, including by means of
the [Port List] on the display panel.
From [Relative] mode to [Free] mode:
- When the chart is scrolled.
- When a chart is loaded, including by means of the [Port List] on the display panel.
From [Free] mode to [True] mode:
- When the [Home] is left-clicked.
The [Rotation] made in [Free] mode is retained if the mode is changed over to [True].

3.7 Displaying the Radar image
3.7.1 Radar image display ON/OFF
You can turn ON/OFF the radar image on the chart. The radar image can be adjusted with the dials on the
operation panel.
Note:
To display a radar image, the optional radar board must be installed on the unit. Also, a radar
image must be sent from the radar system.
It is not possible to display the image from the Radar in chart conversion by Chart Portfolio.
If the radar system displays a short-range image, and a long-range image on the ECDIS at the
same time, the radar image on the ECDIS may be distorted.
While the radar image is displayed, the display range can be changed in 10 steps (0.5/0.75/1.5/3/6/
12/24/48/96/120nm).
If Display Color is [DAY1] or [DAY2], Display Color changes [DAY3] when radar display turn on.
For ARCS, the available display range differs depending on the chart displayed. If a display range
beyond 120nm is selected, the radar image will be turned off automatically.

3.7.2 Adjusting radar image for displaying
Note:
If menu panel adjustment ([(7) Main] - [(9) Radar Overlay] - [(0) Setting] Rader Option panel)
is selected, the following dials do not work. In this case, change the menu setting to activate the
dials. For details, see 3.32.1 Setting Radar Options.
[VIDEO]: Adjusting the brightness of radar echoes

The [VIDEO] dial adjusts the brightness of radar echoes. Turning the [VIDEO] dial to the right
increases the brightness. Adjust to the best brightness to view radar echoes.
[RAIN]: Suppressing rain and snow clutter

The [RAIN] dial suppresses clutter caused by rain and snow. Turning the [RAIN] dial (ANTI-CLUTTER
RAIN dial) to the right enhances the contours of targets that are hidden in images of rain and snow.
Take care not to over-adjust this dial. Otherwise, you may miss small targets. This dial also reduces
sea clutter. So, using both the [RAIN] and [SEA] dials is more effective. Normally, keep this dial
turned as far as possible to the left.
[SEA]: Suppressing sea clutter

The [SEA] dial lowers the reception sensitivity in near distances to reduce sea clutter. Turning the
[SEA] dial (ANTI-CLUTTER SEA dial) to the right increases the effect of suppressing sea clutter.
Take care not to over-adjust this dial. Otherwise, you may miss small targets like buoys and small
boats.
[GAIN]: Adjusting sensitivity

The [GAIN] dial adjusts the reception sensitivity of RADAR echo. Turning the [GAIN] dial to the right
increases the reception sensitivity and widens the distances in which RADAR echo can be observed.
Take care not to over-adjust this dial, as reception noise on screen increases. This worsens the
contrast and makes it more difficult to tell the difference between targets and RADAR echo.
Alternatively, turning the [GAIN] dial to the left to view near distances or screens containing closely
packed targets, decreases the reception sensitivity making targets easier to view.
Take care not to over-adjust this dial. Otherwise, you may miss small targets.
