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  the 

cursor 

knob  and  highlight 

“

STBY

”. Turn the 

small right 

knob to select 

“OPER?”

. 

2.  Press 

ENT

 to confirm 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 Traf-
fic Page: 

1.  Turn the 

cursor

 on and highlight

 “OPER”

.

2.  Turn  the 

small  right 

knob  to  select 

“

STBY

?”.

3.  Press 

ENT

 to confirm 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 in the operating mode during a 
touch-and-go maneuver.
