uses the color Magenta (GWX-70) or white (GWX-75) to show areas of rain or hail which

Operation in Weather Mode
WARNING: Do not operate the weather radar in a transmitting mode when
personnel or objects are within the MPEL boundary.
WARNING: Do not assume weather radar transmission is disabled unless
all display panes displaying weather radar are set to Standby Mode, and are
displaying 'STANDBY' in the center of each weather radar display.
CAUTION: In Standby mode, the antenna is parked at the center line. It is
always a good idea to ensure the radar is in Standby mode before taxiing
the aircraft to prevent the antenna from bouncing on the bottom stop and
possibly causing damage to the radar assembly.
NOTE: Garmin recommends the user obtain instruction in the proper opera-
tion of airborne weather radar.
When the weather radar system is in the Weather or Ground Map mode, the system
automatically switches to Standby mode on landing.
In Reversionary mode, the weather radar system automatically switches to Standby
mode. The system remains in Standby mode until both displays are restored. In Rever-
sionary mode, the weather radar system cannot be controlled.
Displaying weather on the Weather Radar Page:
1) Select the Weather Radar Page in the Map Page Group with the FMS Knob.
2) Select the Mode Softkey.
