FAR-2XX7 Operation

This quick-user guide describes the most commonly used functions and features of the
FAR2XX7 series radars. It is not intended to be a substitute for the operator’s manual,
which should be referred to for more detailed information.

The FAR2XX7 can be operated via individual buttons and knobs on the full-sized
keyboard, (Shown below) or via the track-ball “point and click” method, which is
common to both the full-sized keyboard and trackball only control.
