Outer Range Ring
The outer range ring
identifies the outer boundary of the current
range. In the
360
° view, the outer range ring
is made up of
9
arcs spaced
30
° apart along a
circle centered on the aircraft symbol. In the
120
° view, the outer range ring is made up of
2
arcs each spaced
30
° on either side of the
aircraft heading along a circle centered on the
aircraft symbol. If the range is set to
25
nmi
in either view, the outer range ring is a solid
ring instead of arcs. The numerical value of the
radius of the outer range ring is displayed in the
range indicator at the bottom of the screen.
Power/Brightness Control (OFF/BRT)
Rotating this knob clockwise turns on the
WX-1000
and increases the brightness of the display. Rotating
this knob counterclockwise decreases the brightness
of the display and turns off the
WX-1000
when the
knob reaches its fully counterclockwise position.
25 nmi Range Ring
This solid ring is
displayed on every range of both weather views to
keep you informed of any thunderstorm activity
within a
25
nmi radius of your aircraft.
Display Range Indicator
This button
label/indicator displays the numerical value of
the current range displayed on the screen. This
value corresponds to the distance from the
aircraft to the outer range ring. The possibili-
ties are
25, 50, 100,
and
200
nmi.
Buttons
The four gray buttons protruding from
the bottom half of the bezel are momentary contact
switches. The
WX-1000
assigns them different
functions depending on which screen and options
are currently active.
Own Aircraft Symbol
This symbol indicates
the location and heading of your aircraft relative
to the thunderstorm activity.
