Alert Hot Key
Traffic alerts go one step further than the Advisory hot key
feature and will automatically bring up the Function Menu
showing the Skywatch/TCAD function. A single key press
can then be used to switch the display to the Traffic
function. The Alert hot key feature will automatically clear
when the traffic alert condition no longer exists.
Traffic Alert Pop-Up
When a Traffic Alert occurs, the system can automatically
switch to the Traffic function and the zoom level will be
adjusted to view the traffic. The Alert Hot Key or Traffic
Alert Pop-Up mode option is selectable in the Traffic
menu and only occurs when the display is set to some
function other than Traffic.
