Second radar notification

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.
