this time.
Test trig ge ring :
Press the VFR1 but ton (F) and VFR2 but ton si mul ta ne ous ly. At this test all

3. Ope ra ting in struc tions for the tran spon der
A. Swit ching on the unit (pre-flight check)
(1) Check that the cir cuit brea ker is set and switch on the air craft po wer
supp ly .
CAU TI ON : Do not switch on the trans pon der if the mo tors or en gi nes
are being start ed or shut down.
(2) Using mode switch (A), switch the transponder from OFF to SBY. A test
then fol lows au to ma ti cal ly for 3 se conds. The dis play is flas hing with all
di gits and the unit is sub ject to a self-test si mul ta ne ous ly.
(3) Af ter the switch-on test has elap sed and no er ror-message is writ ten in
the dis play, the trans pon der swit ches to the mode set on the mode
switch (A).
B. Flight ope ra ti on in Mode A (trans pon der re ply code only)
(1) The trans pon der re mains swit ched in the stand by mode un til re ques ted
by the ground sta ti on (ATC) to trans mit a code, e.g. “squawk al pha
6426".
(2) Check the code dis play. Do not set a code with 75xx / 76xx / 77xx. The-
se codes are re ser ved for emer gen cies.
(3) Using the dou ble ro ta ry switch (B,C) set the 4-digit code re ques ted by
ATC as fol lows :
(a) Using switch (B) move the cur sor to the par ti cu lar di git. Digits
0 to 7 can then be set using switch (C).
NO TES : If switch (B) is tur ned clock wi se or coun ter-clockwise,

the cur sor is mo ved one po si ti on to the right or the left.
The cur sor ap pe ars only in the code dis play and is in di-
cated by the flas hing di git. If no cur sor is vi si ble, the
first di git fla shes af ter a clock wi se ro ta ti on and the last
digit af ter a coun ter-clockwise ro ta ti on. When the code
is being chan ged in the ON or ALT po si ti on, the trans-
ponder tem po rar ily swit ches to the stand by mode.
The ac ti ve time of the cur sor and the rate of flas hing
can be chan ged in the con fi gu ra ti on mode.
Page 3-3

(b) If the cur sor is not mo ved again wit hin of 3 se conds (can be chan-
ged in con fi gu ra ti on mode) or if the cur sor is mo ved so far that it
can no lon ger be seen in the dis play field or the iden ti fi ca ti on
switch is pres sed (in the ON or ALT mode), the code cur rent ly
set is swit ched active.
NO TES : Whilst set tings are ta king pla ce, the trans mis si on
branch of the trans pon der is in hi bi ted to pre vent unin-
ten tio nal trans mis si on.
If only two di gits were na med by ATC, e.g. “Squawk

al pha 64”, then a zero is to be used for po si tions three
and four, i.e. “6400”.
(4) Set mode switch (A) from SBY to ON. The trans pon der im me di ali ty rep-
lies with the set code. A tri an gle on the left next to the code sig nals the
tran pon der re plies.
(5) Af ter a “squawk ident” re quest from ATC, press Ident but ton IDT (D)
brief ly. This trans mits an ad di tio nal spe ci al pul se (SPI) for ap prox. 18
se conds, which en ab les the air craft to be cle ar ly iden ti fied on the ra dar

play du ring this time.
(6) The last used code is sto red in each case and is also ac ti vat ed when
the trans pon der is swit ched on.
C. Flight ope ra ti on in Mode A+C (re ply code and al ti tu de code)
(1) ATC re quests the trans mis si on “al pha/char lie” or “char lie”, switch the
trans pon der to ALT using mode switch (A).
NOTE : This only ma kes sen se if the trans pon der is connec ted to a
co ding al ti me ter. If not, tell ATC that you do not have mode C
(“mode char lie not avai la ble”).
(2) The trans pon der re plies using the code set un der sec ti on B and in res-
pon se to mode C re quests it tans mits the flight le vel of the air craft to
ATC. A tri an gle on the left next to the code sig nals the trans pon der rep-

(3) Af ter a “squawk ident” re quest from ATC, press Ident but ton IDT (D)
brief ly. This trans mits an ad di tio nal spe ci al pul se (SPI) for ap prox. 18

D. Spe ci al VFR co dings
(1) Two user-specific VFR codes can be sto red and ac ti vat ed on the trans-

(2) Sto ring a new VFR code
(a) Set the code to be sto red in ac cor dan ce with sec ti on B.
(b) Press sto re push-button STO (J), the set code then flashes.
(c) Press the VFR1 push-button (F) or the VFR2 push-button (G) wit-

NOTE : If one of the two but tons (F) or (G) is pres sed wit hout the
STO but ton ha ving been pres sed be fo re hand, then the
sto red code al lo ca ted this but ton ap pe ars in the code dis-
play and is swit ched to ac ti ve af ter 3 se conds (can be
chan ged in the con fi gu ra ti on mode). If the same but ton is
again pres sed wit hin 3 se conds, the pre vi ous code ap-
pe ars.
(3) Ac ti vat ion of the VFR codes
(a) Press the VFR push-button 1 or 2 (F, G). The se lec ted code is
then dis play ed. Af ter 3 se conds, the dis play ed code be co mes ac ti-

(b) Pres sing bu tton (F) or (G) again wit hin 3 se conds re ac ti va tes the
pre vi ous ly-set re ply code.
NOTE : When the unit is de li ver ed, the sto re but tons are not as sig-

for 0.5 se conds, “----” is shown in the code dis play and the
trans pon der then swit ches back to the pre vi ous ly-active
