3. DISPLAY-ORIENTED PUSH BUTTONS

TARGET MARKER

To set a target marker, move the cursor to the target and press the

button. A triangle symbol witha corresponding number will then

appear at the cursor position. 8 numbered target markers may be

shown simultaneously. When more than 8 markers are

positioned, the oldest one is erased. The position data for 8

markers is displayed in the MARKERS menu.

The sonar keeps track of the markers even outside the display.

The target marker can also be used for MANUAL TARGET

TRACKING, because the sonar calculates the speed (S), course

The result is displayed in white figures in the lower right corner

(left corner in AUDIO or ECHOSOUNDER modes). The

calculated result will be displayed for 3 minutes.

In addition to be used for target tracking, this is also useful for

distance measurements between two selected positions.

OWN SHIP MARKER

A square marker is displayed on the own ship symbol when the

button is pressed. The marker will then be locked to that

geographic position.

As with the target markers, this marker is given a number, and its

position data is also displayed in the MARKERS menu.

CIRCLE MARKER

To set the circle marker, move the cursor to the desired position

and press the button. A circle symbol will appear at the cursor

position, and the button will light. The size of the symbol will be

equal to the selected seine net if a net is selected in the GEAR

menu, or equal to net no. 1 if a trawl symbol is selected.

To erase the circle symbol, press the button once more.
