Radar Display Modes
The Radar screen has five standard operating modes. Each mode is available for use only with a compatible
radar ( page 64 ).
• Cruising mode—shows a full-screen image of the gathered radar information.
• Harbor mode—intended for use in inland waters, this mode works best with short-range radar signals
(2 nm or less).
• offshore mode—intended for use in open waters, this mode works best with long-range radar signals.
• Dual Range mode—provides a side-by-side view of both short-range and long-range radar data.
• Sentry mode—allows you to put the radar into timed-transmit mode, in which you can configure a radar
transmit and standby cycle to conserve power. You can also enable a guard zone in Sentry mode, which
identifies a safe zone around your boat.

Cruising Mode
Cruising mode is the standard radar operation for the GMR non-xHD radar.
Note: If you switch from Sentry mode to Cruising mode, the radar switches to full-time transmission and
disables any guard zones.
