annunclated. When a delay time is set in the Configuration Mode, the GTX 330 waits a speci-
fred length of time after landing before changing to GND mode.
Failure Annunciation
If the unit detects an internal failure, the screen dlsplays FAIL. When FAIL is annunciated
no transponder data is transmitted.
