Radar Radar Display Modes The Radar screen has four standard operating modes. Each mode is available for use only with a compatible radar. • 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. • 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.
