sponder set is replying to a SIF
interrogation.
MODE 4 AUDIO OUT switch -

When possible, obtain the cooper-
ation of an interrogating station
to exercise the TEST mode. Exe-

identification-position replies while operating in
code Modes 1, 2, and/or 3/A, in response to ground
station interrogations. This type of operation is initi-
ated by the operator as follows:
1.
Modes 1, 2, and/or 3/A - ON, as
required.
2. IDENT-OUT-MIC switch - Press
momentarily to IDENT, when
directed.
NOTE
Holding circuits within the transponder
receiver-transmitter will transmit identifi-
cation-position signals for 15 to 30 sec-
onds. This is normally sufficient time for
ground control to identify the aircrafts
position. During the 15 to 30 second
period, it is normal procedure to acknowl-
edge via the aircraft communications set
that identification- position signals are
being generated.
NOTE
Set any of the M1, M2, M3/A, M-C, or
MODE 4 switches to OUT to inhibit
transmission of replies in undesired
modes.
NOTE
With the IDENT-OUT-MIC switch set to
the MIC position, the POS IDENT but-
ton must be depressed to transmit identi-
fication pulses.
(5.) Shutdown procedure:
1.
To retain Mode 4 code in external
computer during a temporary
shutdown:
a.
MODE 4 CODE switch -
Rotate to HOLD.
b. Wait 15 seconds.
c.
MASTER control - OFF.
2.
To zeroize the Mode 4 code in the
external computer turn MODE 4
CODE switch to ZERO.
3.
MASTER control - OFF. This will
automatically zeroize the external
computer unless codes have been
retained (step 1 above).
