3.10.4  EFT START

The EFT (Elapsed Flight Time) can be set to begin counting at unit turn on or at a prespecified altitude 

after take off.  The altitude after take off is the differential altitude from where the aircraft was tuned on 

as sensed by the internal encoder.  

1. 

Rotate the Data knob to select the EFT Start Alt page.

2. 

Press the Enter pushbutton.  The brackets will extinguish and the data will blink.

3. 

Rotate the Data knob to select the differential  altitude at which you wish the EFT timer to begin 

counting.  Note that if you select 0 feet, the EFT will begin counting at unit turn on.

4. 

Press the Enter pushbutton to select the EFT Altitude.

3.10.5  AUTO MODE C ALT

The STX 165 can be set to automatically select Mode C either at turn on or at a pre specified altitude

-

matically selected.  Note that if you select 0 feet, Mode C will be selected at unit turn on.

4. 

Press the Enter pushbutton to select the EFT Altitude.

3.10.6  MIN BRIGHTNESS

The STX 165 uses a photo cell to sense the ambient light conditions and automatically adjust the 
brightness of the display.  This page allow the pilot to set the minimum brightness of the display to 
match other panel displays or his preference.  Note that the maximum brightness is preset at the factory 
and not adjustable.

1.  Rotate the Data knob to display the MIN Brightness page.

2.  Press the Enter pushbutton.  The brackets will extinguish and the display will show the level of
