SECTION 10 – HAZARD
AVOIDANCE
Weather Attenuated Color Highlight (WATCH™)
While in horizontal scan mode, this feature can be used
as a tool to determine areas of possible inaccuracies in
displayed intensity due to weakening of the radar energy.
This weakening is known as ‘attenuation’. Accuracy of the
displayed intensity of returns located in the shaded areas
are suspect. Proper antenna tilt management should still
be employed to determine the extent of attenuation in a
shaded area.
To activate or deactivate the WATCH™ feature, select
the WATCH Softkey.
