Terminology

The words shall and must are used to indicate a mandatory requirement.
The word should is used to indicate a recommendation, meaning that there may
exist valid reasons in particular circumstances not to follow a specific item, but the
full implications must be understood and carefully weighed before choosing a
different course.
The word may is used to indicate that an item is truly optional.
1.3

Displays

PowerFLARM Fusion must be connected to a FLARM display. Displays originate from
third party manufacturers implementing the FLARM ICD protocol, an extension of
NMEA 0183. To ensure that collision warnings and traffic information work correctly
and that critical status and error conditions are correctly annunciated to the pilots,
Fusion should be connected to at least one FLARM Compatible display.
A list of displays certified as FLARM Compatible, as well as alternative means of
compliance, can be found in Appendix C. Displays certified as FLARM Compatible
can also be found in the Product Selector under the category "Primary Displays":

Fusion also supports connections to supplementary displays and navigation
systems over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Radio Communication and Antennas

The FLARM system uses a radio communication frequency in the SRD860 band
(≈ 868 MHz) or an ISM band (≈ 915 MHz) in different parts of the world.
PowerFLARM Fusion will automatically select the applicable frequency based on the
GNSS position.
The following frequencies are used within the specified areas.
