TIS System Status

The GDU 620 performs an automatic test of TIS during power-up. If
TIS passes the test, TIS enters Standby Mode on the ground or Operating
Mode in the air. If TIS fails the power up test, an annunciation is shown
in the center of the Traffic Map Page.

The traffic mode is annunciated in the upper left corner of the Traffic Map
Page. When the aircraft is on the ground, TIS automatically enters Standby
Mode. If traffic is selected for display on another map while Standby Mode is
selected, the traffic display enabled icon is crossed out (also the case when TIS
has failed). Once the aircraft is airborne, TIS switches to Operating Mode and
traffic information is displayed. The mode can be changed manually using soft
keys or the page menu.
