The ICE custom setting sets up the radar to detect areas of ice on the sea surface. With
ICE active, the following restrictions or requirements apply:
• For interswitch configurations with a FAR-2xx8 series as the main radar and a FAR-
2xx7 series as the sub radar, ice echoes may not appear correctly on the FAR-2xx7
series screen. Avoid using a FAR-2xx7 series radar as the interswitch sub-radar with
Ice Mode enabled.
• Ice Mode must be enabled from the [RADAR INSTALLATION] menu. See the Instal-
lation Manual for details.
• Dual radar mode must be disabled from the [RADAR INSTALLATION] menu. See the
Installation Manual for details.
• Ice Mode replaces Bird Mode. While Ice Mode is in use, Bird Mode-related settings
and operations are not available.
• Video Contrast settings are fixed to ICE settings when the performance monitor is ac-
tivated while Ice Mode is enabled.
• While Ice Mode is enabled, the following functions are not available:
• Target Analyzer • Rain Echo Hatching • Video Contrast
• Automatic Clutter Elimination (ACE) • Fast Target Emphasis • Trail Hide
