buttons will be inactive and nothing will be registered if
accidentally pressed. Once the valid offset is registered
on the display, along with a plus, (no indication) or
minus sign, the ENT button is pressed. The display will
momentarily blink, signaling acceptance and initiating
frequency offset immediately. If the FREQ button is
pressed at this point, it will display the original operating
frequency with the offset subtracted or added to it. To
cancel an offset, press OFST first to display existing
offsets. Then press CLR followed by 0, which will cause
00 to be displayed. When ENT is pressed, an offset of
00 is entered returning the operating frequency to its
nonoffset condition.
SEnd/OFST has a second function of initiating an
ERF transmission if a hopset or lockout set is in the
holding memory and the mode switch is in the FH-M
position.

TIME. The TIME button on the
keyboard is used to display or change the time setting
maintained within each RT. Time is displayed in three
separate individual fields in days (O through 99) hours
and minutes hours (O through 23), minutes (O through
59) and seconds (O through 59). Days are displayed in
the two left digits immediately when TIME is pressed.
Pressing TIME again will cause the field to change to
the hours/minutes field. Hours are displayed in the two
left digits of the second field, minutes in the two right
digits. Pressing TIME the third time results in the third
(minutes/seconds) field being displayed. Minutes are
displayed in the two left digits and seconds are
displayed on the two right digits of the display. When
TIME is displayed and CLR has not been pressed, the
seconds will be running. When CLR is pressed, the
internal clock continues to run, but the display will be
static, displaying entry information only. To set or reset
time, requires that the function switch be in the LD
(load) position. The positions of the MODE and
PRESET switches are of no consequence. With the
function switch in LD, the TIME button is pressed once,
displaying days in the two left digits. Press CLR (clear)
and the two digits will be removed. The new days
numbers may then be inserted by keyboard entry. Once
the new days numbers have been registered, the ENT
button is pressed and the display caused to blink
momentarily. The new days numbers are now entered
and stored. Once the new days have been entered, the
TIME button must again be pressed to change to the
second field (hours and minutes). The previous hours
and minutes are displayed in the two extreme left and
right digits, respectively. CLR is then pressed to
remove the old hours/minutes display and is replaced by
underlines at the bottom of each digit previously
displaying a number. The new hour and minute
numbers (four digits) are then entered by keyboard
entry. Once ENT is pressed, the display blinks and the
new data is registered. When the new hours/minutes
numbers are registered, the registered numbers are
static and displayed time is not changing. When ENT is
pressed, time keeping is started, and the seconds are
zeroed prior to the new time keeping procedure. The
third display field (minutes/seconds) is available for
display, but cannot be set by keyboard entry. Only
when a valid four digit hours/minutes entry has been
completed by pressing ENT is the old seconds erased to
zero and new time started. This is to accommodate
presetting and display of time prior to a time mark. If an
error occurs during any entry sequence, pressing CLR
erases the display and starts the sequence over.

FILL. This connector is used to fill
ECCM parameters from an external fill device. Entry of
ECCM parameters is initiated by the H LD button on the
keyboard with the function switch in LD or LD-V. The
RT will recognize the attachment of a fill device and
respond accordingly.

LOCATOR
TRANSMITTER
(ELT).
a.
Description.
An
emergency
locator
transmitter is provided to assist in locating an aircraft
and crew in the event an emergency landing is
necessitated. The output frequency is 121. 5 and 243
MHz simultaneously. Range is approximately line-of-
sight. The transmitter unit has separate function control
switches located on one end of the case. In the event
the impact switch has been inadvertently actuated, the
beacon can be reset by firmly pressing the pushbutton
RESET switch on the front of the case. The RESET
switch and a 3-position toggle switch, placarded ARM,
OFF and ON, also on the transmitter case, may be
actuated by inserting one finger through a small, round,
spring-loaded door on the left side of the aft fuselage
(fig. 3-6). The transmitter unit is accessible through a
service panel located on the bottom of the aft fuselage.
