5.3 How do I power on/off the various scanner operating
modes?
To control the power to the radar, press the POWER button and use the appropriate
soft key to select the required operating mode. The scanner icon in the data bar
indicates the chosen status.
Note:
When an open array antenna is fitted, the system stops the antenna in the for-
ward facing position when Standby mode is selected.
