Garmin 496 Manuale Proprietario

If the number of Traffic Advisories on the TIS display decreases and 

then increases, a new audio alert is sounded. The TIS audio alert is 

also generated whenever TIS service becomes unavailable. 
The following TIS audio alerts are available:

•  Traffic—TIS traffic alert received.
•  Traffic Not Available—TIS service is not available or out of 

range.

  NOTE: TIS audio alerts can be turned off in the Main Menu 

Sound tab.

Traffic ground track is indicated on the GPSMAP 496 screen by a 

“target track vector”, a short line shown in 45-degree increments, 

extending in the direction of target movement.

When a traffic threat is imminent, the Traffic Warning Window is 

shown. The Traffic Warning Window shows a small thumbnail map. 

Press QUIT to go back to the previous page. 

  NOTE: The Traffic Warning Window is disabled when the 

aircraft ground speed is less than 30 knots or when on the 

approach leg of a route.
