ing the climb phase of flight. A "^" (carat) will be annunciated in the
display window.

enroute phase of flight. Both the "^" and "v" (carats) will be annunciat-
ed in the display window.

BELOW; 2700 feet above and 8700 feet below is used during the
descent phase of flight. A "v" (carat) will be annunciated in the display
window.

level feature. The outer concentric knob selects the Mode S and
TCAS mode of operation. The mode is annunciated in the display
window.

the previously selected mode.

annunciated in the display window. Use standby during ground oper-
ations.
