Description

Directional Antenna

A directional antenna is used to receive 1090MHz and transmit

1030MHz for models with TAS.

Alternate Displays

Screen information may look different on displays interfaced with the

Lynx NGT-9000. Refer to that display’s manual for a description of

how information is depicted.
The operation and display features provided in this Pilot’s Guide are

specific to the information depicted on the Lynx NGT-9000.

Personal Electronic Device (PED)

The Lynx NGT-9000 supports the use of personal electronic devices

(e.g., tablets) via a WiFi connection. The PED must use compatible

applications that support the ADS-B broadcast services (i.e., ADS-

B In, TIS-B, ADS-R, and FIS-B). Check with an avionics dealer

or contact L-3 Avionics Systems for a current list of compatible

applications.

WiFi Serial Adapter

The Lynx NGT-9000 can be connect to a PED via WiFi using a
compatible WiFi Serial Adapter.

CP-2500 Control Panel

The CP-2500 is a control panel offered by L-3 Avionics Systems. It

is the only compatible control panel for the remote mount Lynx NGT-

9000. The operational information provided in this guide is limited.

Refer to the CP-2500 Pilot’s Guide (0040-17250-01) for detailed

information.
