The unit returns to normal operation if no failures are detected and a “System Test Pass” message is
heard through the aircraft audio system.

Correct failures before going any further with the functional check.
•
A “Fail” indicates an internal unit error. Refer to the fault isolation information provided in the
maintenance manual for detailed information.
•
An “External Fail” indicates an external signal loss. Check antenna and data source signals and
connections. Refer to the fault isolation information provided in the maintenance manual for
detailed information.
•
Press the “MSG” button located on the Transponder Application screen to view fail messages.
The messages “No TIS-B / ADS-R Coverage” or” FIS-B No Signal” may be seen due to the
unit being out of range of a ground station. This is normal and the checks may proceed.
•
If the problem is persistent it may be necessary to connect the MPC and use the Lynx MAT to
view live data, see paragraph 3.9 for details.
