Eight squawk code entry keys (0 – 7)
provide access to all ATCRBS codes.
Tapping one of these keys begins the
code selection sequence.
Use the Backspace key or outer
control knob to move the cursor.
Digits that are not yet entered appear as underscores.
Activate the new code by
tapping Enter.
To cancel the code entry and
exit the page, tap Cancel.
Active squawk codes remain in use until
a new code is entered.
Tapping this key once sets the squawk code to the
preprogrammed VFR code.
This code is factory set to 1200, but may be changed during
configuration.
Tapping the XPDR key activates
the IDENT function for 18
seconds. This signal distinguishes
the transponder from others on
the air traffic controller’s screen.
Tapping this key when another
page is active immediately opens
the control panel.
