Before beginning radar transmission, verify that the area around the radar is clear. The radartransmits a beam approximately 12° above and below a line extending horizontally from the centerof the radar. Avoid looking directly at the radar, because the eyes are the most susceptible parts ofthe body.When you connect your chartplotter to an optional Garmin marine radar such as a GMR™ 404/406 ora GMR 18/24, you can view more information about your surroundings. The radar connects throughthe Garmin Marine Network and shares radar data with all networked chartplotters.The GMR transmits a narrow beam of microwave energy as it rotates in a 360° pattern. When thetransmitted energy contacts a target, some of that energy is reflected back to the radar.Transmitting Radar Signals1.
