Press the IDT button when ATC instructs you to “Ident” or 
“Squawk Ident”.  This activates the SPI pulse in the 
transponder replies for 18 seconds.  IDT will appear in the 
display. 
FN 
Pressing the FUNC button provides access to changing 
the Flight ID. 
VFR 
Pressing the VFR button sets the transponder to the pre-
programmed conspicuity code.  Pressing the button again 
restores the previous squawk code. 
ENT 
The ENT button enters a digit in the code selector. 
Code Selector Knob 
The right hand knob is used to set squawk codes and the Flight ID.  
The FN button selects which will be updated.  Turning the knob will 
highlight the first digit on the display, and the digit can be changed as 
required.  Press the ENT button to advance to the next digit.  When 
ENT is pressed on the last digit, the new squawk code or Flight ID will

The Flight ID should correspond to the aircraft call sign entered on 
your flight plan.  If no flight plan is active, the aircraft registration 
should be used as your Flight ID.  Use only letters and digits.  If the 
Flight ID is less than 8 characters long, entering a blank character will 
end it. 
Altitude Encoder Warm Up 
The built in altitude encoder uses a sensor that is temperature 
dependent.  A small internal heater circuit keeps the sensor at the 
correct temperature.  When the ambient temperature is below 0C 
there may be a delay between switching on the transponder and 
seeing an altitude reported.  In very cold weather this delay can be 
several minutes.  You should always switch on the transponder
