  5. Set Meter switch to AGC/EL position
  6. Sight on desired sector, using front and rear sights
  7. Adjust Sensitivity control so that Test Meter points to AGC line.
  8. Loosen Elevation knob and adjust radar for maximum AGC deflection on Test Meter while adjusting Sensitivity control to maintain meter pointer near AGC line.
  9. Set Area Search switch (Mode 1-2-3) to Mode 1 or 2 as desired, and Auto-Man clutch to Man position.
  10. On Angular control, adjust sector scan ring to center of desired scanning sector.
  11. Manually scan desired sector by moving receiver transmitter unit to azimuth. With radar trained on spot giving lowest reading, adjust Sensitivity control so that Test Meter pointer is on AGC line. Lock Sensitivity control.
  12. Again, Manually scan desired sector and set Volume control for satisfactory max noise level in headset.
  13. Set Auto-Man clutch to Auto position and monitor headset for moving target in area under surveillance.

Stopping the Equipment

  1. Place Power switch (OFF-STBY-XMIT) at OFF position.
