BendixKing GC 360A - Manual (Page 8)

To begin radar graphics operation,
rotate the GC 360A’s mode selector
clockwise to the desired position
after turning on the aircraft’s master
and avionics master switches. With
the mode selector set to any posi-
tion other than Off or Standby, and
the radar operating in a weather
mode or in Standby, the following
disclaimer message will appear on
the radar screen:
The disclaimer will extinguish by
itself after approximately 20 sec-
onds of display. Also, it may be
removed at any time by pressing th
GC 360A’s Cancel pushbutton.
You may also interrupt the dis-
claimer message before its display
time has elapsed by turning the
mode selector to Standby. In that
case, repositioning the selector to
any other position but Off will recall
the disclaimer to the screen for the
balance of its 20 second display
period, after which it will extinguish
automatically. Again, press the
Cancel button at any time to clear
the disclaimer from the radar
screen.
During aircraft shutdown periods,
you may leave the mode selector
set to Standby and remove power
with your aircraft’s avionics master
switch. As with all avionics, it is
good practice to make sure that no
power is reaching the GC 360A dur-
ing engine startup or shutdown.
Certain radar graphics modes -
EMER,
√
LST and BOTH, as well as
the GC 360A’s 1000 nm range nav-
igation map - require that the radar
be set to Standby. If the radar is
operating in a weather mode with
the GC 360A’s mode selector set to
any of these modes, a “SELECT
SBY” annunciator will appear on the
radar indicator next to the Standby
selector. No weather information is
available when the radar is operat-
ing in Standby.
As a reminder that the weather
radar must be operating in the nav-
igation map mode to display nav
graphics from the GC 360A, a white
“Push Nav” annunciator appears as
necessary, adjacent to the radar’s
Nav Map key.
