Operating Instructions
SKY497
Switch Between Standby and Normal Operating Mode
You must switch out of standby if you want the
SKY497
to display traffic information. The
ability to switch out of standby on the ground in conjunction with the above display mode
is especially useful for scanning the airspace around the airport before takeoff.
1.To switch into normal operating mode from the standby screen (figure
2-3), press the button labeled
>>
>>
>
OPR
.
The
SKY497
switches out of standby into the above display mode and 6 nmi range.
(See figure 2-7.)
If your aircraft has a squat switch and you don’t manually switch out of standby, the
SKY497
will automatically switch out of standby 8 to 10 seconds after takeoff.
2.To switch into standby from the traffic screen (figure 2-7), press the button
labeled
>>
>>
>
STB
.
The
SKY497
goes into standby and the display switches back to the standby screen.
If your aircraft has a squat switch, the
>
STB
button label is not displayed while you’re
airborne and the
SKY497
will not go into standby while airborne, but will automati-
cally go into standby 24 seconds after landing. (This delay allows the
SKY497
to
remain out of standby during a touch-and-go maneuver.)
Change the Display Range
You can change the display range anytime your aircraft is not in standby.
1.Press the display range button to toggle the display range between 6 & 2
nmi. (See figures 2-7 and 2-8.)
With each press of the button, the screen changes to display the traffic detected
within the chosen display range. The numerical value of the chosen display range (2
nm or 6 nm) is displayed next to the button.
The
SKY497
continues to track up to 30 intruder aircraft within its maximum
surveillance range regardless of the display range selected.
