A guard zone:

How can the radar help me avoid a collision?

You can set up your E-Series Display to sound an alarm when anything comes within a pre-set range of the boat.
These guard zones allow you to take any necessary action to avoid a collision.

Guard zones
A sector or circular zone fixed with respect to the Ships Heading Marker (SHM). If the SHM moves, or the centre is
offset, or the range scale changes, the zone moves accordingly.

You can overlay radar image data on your chart allowing better
distinction between fixed objects and other marine traffic.
