8.3 Mode Selector Knob
The left hand knob controls the power to the transponder and the operating
mode.
OFF
Power is removed from the transponder.
SBY
The transponder is on, but will not reply to any interrogations.
GND
The transponder will respond to Mode S ground interrogations from
surface movement radar.
ON
The transponder will respond to all interrogations, but altitude
reporting is suppressed.
ALT
The transponder will respond to all interrogations.
When airborne, the transponder should always be set to ALT unless otherwise
directed by Air Traffic Control. When you are taxiing on the ground, the
transponder should be set to GND unless your installation includes a gear squat
switch or GPS based automatic Air/Ground determination which will
automatically select GND on landing. In these cases the mode switch can be
left in ALT on the ground.

Press the IDT button when ATC instructs you to “Ident” or

Pressing the FN button provides access to changing the Flight ID
and the ADS-B position monitor and display brightness control.
VFR
Pressing the VFR button sets the transponder to the pre-
programmed conspicuity code. Pressing the button again
restores the previous squawk code.

The ENT button enters a digit in the code selector.
