The VFR code can be entered either manually or by selecting the

When the

of the Transponder Data Box. Selecting the

Softkey again restores the previous identification code.
The pre-programmed VFR Code is set at the factory to 1200. If a VFR code change is required, contact a
Garmin-authorized service center for configuration.

IDENT FUNCTION
NOTE:
In Standby Mode, the
Ident
Softkey is inoperative.
Pressing the
Ident
Softkey sends a distinct identity indication to Air Traffic Control (ATC). The indication
distinguishes the identing transponder from all the others on the air traffic controller’s screen. The
Ident
Softkey
appears on all levels of transponder softkeys. When the
Ident
Softkey is pressed, a green Ident indication is
displayed in the mode field of the Transponder Data Box for a duration of 18 seconds.
After the
Ident
Softkey is pressed while in Mode or Code Selection, the system reverts to the top-level softkeys.
