The 1622 has a pretty good manual. Reading a radar signature in general is an art and takes practice to become familiar with. The best advice I can give is to go out with your manual in hand, start at the beginning of the manual and go through each item, trying to simulate that particular topic/condition so you can see what it actually looks like on the screen in real life, and how to deal with it so that you get the best information from the screen as possible. For example, to become familiar with the sea clutter suppression, you'll need to get out there on a choppy day so you can see what sea clutter actually looks like on the screen, what the screen looks like when you suppress it, and the real targets you may lose as a result. You may want to know what rain looks like off in the distance, a fog rolling in, how to tell if a target is simply an echo, or if strange lines on your screen is a problem with your radar or radar interference from another ship using the same frequency (if you don't know any better here, you'd think there was something wrong with your unit). You should practice taking bearings and setting up guard zones/alarms. The best way is to experience it in real life, and have the manual there so you can adjust accordingly.
Remember that some of the adjustments simply increase or decrease sensitivity but sometimes that comes at the expense; too sensitive and some items will not be discernible from others, not sensitive enough may result in missed targets. It's a learning curve for sure but once you learn how to read what's on the screen, basic theory, and features common to all brands, you'll be able to ready just about any recreational radar signature. When you go boating, turn it on and keep it on while underway, and look at it as surrounding and conditions change. Practice, practice, practice.
