SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER
Stay away from transmitting scanner.
The radar scanner emits microwave radiation which can be harmful to the
human body, particularly the eyes. Never look directly into the scanner
radiator from a distance of less than 1 m when the radar is in operation.
Radio Frequency Radiation Hazard
The radar scanner emits electromagnetic radio frequency (RF) energy which can be
harmful, particularly to your eyes. Never look directly into the scanner aperture from a
close distance while the radar is in operation or expose yourself to the transmitting
scanner at a close distance.
Distances at which RF radiation levels of 100 and 10 W/m2 exist are given in the table
below.
Note: If the scanner unit is installed at a close distance in front of the wheel house,
your administration may require halt of transmission within a certain sector of scanner
revolution. This is possible—Ask your FURUNO representative or dealer to provide
this feature.

There are two ways to measure the bearing bearing (true bearing requires heading sen-
to a target: by the cursor , and by the EBL sor input). For north up and course up dis-
