Display

The display is a 1-line by 32-character 5x7 dot
matrix alphanumeric display. A photocell is located
in the top left corner of the front panel display. The
photocell automatically controls the light intensity
of the display LEDs from low brightness at night to
high brightness during daylight operation.

Annunciators

Several annunciators are used to help indicate the
operating modes of your SL60. The TX (Transmit)
annunciator

is

lighted

whenever

you

are

transmitting. If the avionics bus drops below 9
VDC, the SL60 will not transmit. An LED will be
lighted above the WPT/COM, NAV, SYS, or MSG
keys when they are pressed. An “s” normally
appears to the left of the Standby frequency. An
“m” will appear to the left of the Standby frequency
when you are using the Monitor function.
