SYSTEM TEST
NOTE: Traffic surveillance is not available during the system test. Use cau-
tion when performing a system test during flight.
The GTS 8XX provides a system test mode to verify the TAS/TCAS I system is operating
normally. The test takes ten seconds to complete. When the system test is initiated,
a test pattern of traffic symbols is displayed on the Traffic Page. If the system test
passes, the aural announcement "TAS/TCAS 1 System Test Passed" is heard, otherwise
the system announces "TAS/TCAS 1 System Test Failed." When the system test is
complete, the traffic system enters Standby Mode.
1) From the Traffic Page, touch + or - to set the range to 2/6 nm to allow the
full test pattern to be displayed during test.
2) Press the MENU Key.
3) Touch Self-test.
