RANGE SWITCHES
The range switches are two momentary contact buttons that are used
to set the operating radar range. WX ranges can be set from 5 to 300
NM full scale. In the flight plan (FPLN) mode, ranges of 500 and 1000
miles can be set. The up arrow selects increasing ranges, and the down
arrow selects decreasing ranges. One--half the selected range is
annunciated at the one--half scale range mark on the PFD or MFD.
NOTE:
For dual controller installations, the weather radar range is
controlled by the on--side weather radar controller.
