Switching Between Standby and Operating Modes
The unit must be in operating mode for traffic
to be displayed. The ability to switch out of standby
into operating mode on the ground is especially useful
for scanning the airspace around the airport before
takeoff.
To switch into Operating Mode from
Standby Mode:
1.
Press in on the cursor knob and highlight
"STBY". Turn the small right knob to select
"OPER?".
Press ENT to confirm and place the SKYWATCH
2.
in operating mode.
NOTE: The SKYWATCH switches out of standby into the
6-NM display range. If your aircraft has a squat switch
and you do not manually switch out of standby, the
SKYWATCH will automatically switch out of standby 8
to 10 seconds after takeoff.
To switch into Standby Mode from the Traf-
fic Page:
Turn the cursor on and highlight "OPER".
1.
2.
Turn the small right knob to select
"STBY?".
Press ENT to confirm and place the SKYWATCH
3.
in standby mode.
NOTE: If your aircraft has a squat switch, STBY is
not displayed while you are airborne but will go into
standby 24 seconds after landing. This delay allows the
SKYWATCH to remain in the operating mode during a
touch-and-go maneuver.
