SKYWATCH Interface

The name of the selected altitude display mode

(ABV: look up, NRM: normal, BLW: look down,

or UNR: unrestricted) is displayed in the upper

left-hand corner of the Trafﬁ c Screen. The SKY 497

continues to track up to 30 intruder aircraft within

its maximum surveillance range, regardless of the

altitude display mode selected.

To switch into Operating Mode from Standby Mode:

1. Turn the cursor on and highlight 'STBY'. Turn the small right knob to select 'OPER?'.

2. Press ENT to conﬁ rm and place the SKYWATCH 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 Trafﬁ c Page:

1. Turn the cursor on and highlight 'OPER'.

2. Turn the small right knob to select 'STBY?'.

3. Press ENT to conﬁ rm and place the SKYWATCH 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 out of standby during a touch-and-go maneuver.

Altitude Display Mode

To change the Altitude Display Mode:

1. From the Trafﬁ c Page, turn cursor on, highlight the current mode and turn the small right knob to cycle

through the options.

2. With each turn of the knob, the screen changes to display the trafﬁ c detected within the selected altitude

display range. The 400 Series screen also displays unrestricted trafﬁ c (UNR) having a range of maximum

speciﬁ ed by the SKYWATCH Pilot's Guide. Please, refer to the SKYWATCH Pilot's Guide for information

regarding altitude display ranges.

3. Note that conﬁ rmation is not required. The mode is changed immediately when using the inner knob. Turn

the cursor off when selection is made.

Trafﬁ c can be displayed both on the Map Page (only if heading is available) and on the Trafﬁ c Page.
