Multiple radars may be connected, but only one radar can serve as the radar image source for ECDIS at any given time. When activating a second radar, the following notification will appear:

When activating the second Radar, the first Radar will be deactivated.

```{tip}
When multiple radars are connected, it is recommended to:
- Select the radar with the best signal quality and minimal interference
- Use the radar with a higher update rate when navigating in narrow waters
- Regularly check the backup radar's operability to ensure continuity of radar image reception
```

```{note}
Switching between radars may result in a brief loss of radar image for several seconds.

Before switching the **radar image** source, ensure that the switch will not create a precondition for a navigational incident.
