Warnings and Cautions  
Caution:  
Use this radar at your own risk. This radar was designed for  
use as a navigation aid. It should not be used for purposes that  
require precise measurements of direction, distance, topography  
or location. Always compare the navigation information received  
from your radar with data from other navigation aids and  
sources. When a conflict arises between the navigation data from  
your radar and data from other navigation aids, make sure you  
resolve the conflict before proceeding with navigation. A CARE-  
FUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLY ONE  
METHOD TO OBTAIN NAVIGATION INFORMATION.  
Caution:  
International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea man-  
date that when radar is on a vessel, the radar must be used at  
all times, regardless of weather conditions or visibility. Numer-  
ous court decisions have not only ruled the radar must be used,  
but that the radar operator must be knowledgeable in all opera-  
tional aspects of radar performance or otherwise face a greater  
risk of liability if an accident occurs.  
Caution:  
If you purchased an open array radar antenna, make sure it is  
installed in an area free of hardware obstructions and free of po-  
tential obstructions like sails, lines or other vessel components  
that could intermittently intrude or be caught up in the array  
antenna's rotation path.  
WARNING: High Voltage Hazard  
Dangerously high voltages are present within the radar  
scanner unit. Technicians must exercise extreme care  
when working inside the unit. ALWAYS remove power  
before removing the cover. Some capacitors may take  
several minutes to discharge, even after switching off  
the radar. Before touching the magnetron or any high  
voltage components, ground them with a clip lead.

WARNING: Microwave Radiation Hazard  
The microwave energy radiated by a radar antenna is  
harmful to humans, especially to the eyes. NEVER look  
directly into an open waveguide or into the path of ra-  
diation from an enclosed antenna. Radar and other ra-  
dio frequency radiation can upset cardiac pacemakers.  
If someone with a cardiac pacemaker suspects abnormal  
operation, immediately turn off the radar equipment  
and move the person away from the antenna. Turn off  
the radar whenever it is necessary to work on the an-  
tenna unit or other equipment in the beam of the radar.  
WARNING: Turn Off Radar When Docked  
The radar beam can be harmful to humans in close prox-  
imity (within 20 yards, or 18.3 meters). When docked, be  
considerate of other boats and pedestrians nearby and  
remember to turn off your radar. If your boat is in a cov-  
ered marina and the radar is on, a metal roof can act as  
a reflector, bouncing microwave energy back at your  
boat and passengers.

Adjust Trigger Delay  
This feature eliminates the time lag between real radar returns and the  
time it takes data to be processed by the radar software, a common is-  
sue with all radars.  
Caution:  
If you have any doubt about your understanding of the Trigger  
Delay feature, you should have it set up by a qualified radar  
technician.  
1. The radar should already be in STANDBY mode, so press PWR for 2  
seconds to switch the radar into transmission mode. A confirmation  
message will appear, press to select YES.  
2. Press MENU, select GAIN and press ENT. Press to increase the Gain  
level to around 15%. One or two red rings with blue borders should be  
visible on the screen, depending on the wattage of your radar antenna.  
3. Press |to ADJUST TRIGGER DELAY, then press ENT.  
The 2 kW model, the LRA-1800, will have only one ring on the display.  
The 4 kW model, the LRA-2400, will have two rings on the display. See  
the following figures.  
Before adjusting the Trigger Delay for 4 kW radars, two rings will be  
shown on the screen (left). As Trigger Delay is increased, the larger  
ring will start to get smaller. The small ring will disappear (right).  
You may have to increase gain in the previous step if the rings are not  
visible. Increase gain until you have solid red rings shown on the  
screen, like in the preceding example. Increasing Gain too much can  
cause the rings to be distorted.

4. Press to increase the level of Trigger Delay, which will decrease the  
size of the ring. If you have a 4 kW radar, as the large ring decreases in  
size, the smaller ring in the center of the screen will disappear, leaving  
only one ring.  
Increase Trigger Delay to diminish the size of the red ring (left). To set  
Trigger Delay correctly, reduce the ring to as small a size as possible,  
while keeping a black circle in the middle (enlarged view, right).  
In either case, continue to increase the Trigger Delay level until the  
ring is as small as possible, while keeping a black circle in the middle.  
Every radar is different, but typically, a setting between 35 and 42 per-  
cent will get the job done.  
If you over apply the Trigger Delay, the black circle will disappear. De-  
crease the Trigger Delay level and it will reappear.  
3. Press EXIT to return to the main page display.  
Adjust Heading Line  
The Heading Line command is used to make sure the green heading  
line (zero point) on your display is lined up with the bow of your vessel.  
(Before heading line adjustment)  
(After heading line adjustment)  
The bow of the ship is lined up with the tip of the peninsula (left), but the  
green heading line is not. Adjusting the heading line will allow you to align  
the direction of the heading line with the direction of the bow (right).

ADJUST HEADING LINE and press ENT. That will place an arrow on each side  
of the green Heading Line.  
3. Use ← → to adjust the position of the green heading line, so its line  
to the reference point's radar image matches your bow's actual line to  
the reference point.  
4. Press EXIT to remove the heading line arrows from the display.  
Adjust Tune  
Tuning should require no adjustment during the life of the unit. We  
strongly recommend you do NOT adjust Tune settings yourself.  
This feature is intended for use only by trained technicians. If for some  
reason you need to use this function, consult your dealer or customer  
service about the software updates necessary for tuning.
