6.4 Anonymous Mode

In anonymous mode, tailBeacon transmits a randomized temporary
address instead of the aircraft's assigned ICAO address code, and a non-
identifying Call Sign. The temporary address and Call Sign are disabled if
the operator selects a non-1200 squawk code on the transponder. When
enabled, the operator will not be eligible to receive ATC services.
Anonymous mode must not be enabled when tailBeacon is installed on an
aircraft with a Mode S transponder. Doing so will present an ICAO code
mismatch to ATC.

6.5 Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi is intended for on-ground configuration. It is disabled five minutes
after startup, or when airborne, whichever occurs first. Connecting the
skyBeacon Installer app to the device will prevent the five-minute shutdown
from occurring.
To restore Wi-Fi functionality after flight, power to the device must be
cycled.

6.6 Call Sign

Your call sign may be adjusted on the ground using the skyBeacon Installer
app. It may not be adjusted in-flight. This allows your call sign to be
configured to correspond with ATC communications and flight plans, for
use during commercial, medical, or volunteer flight operations. When
changing the call sign ensure no other installation parameters are adjusted.
For typical operations, the call sign should be set to the aircraft registration
(N-number), including the leading "N".
