Tis Alerts - Garmin GPSMAP 696 Owner's Manual

TIS ALERTS

A TIS audio alert is generated whenever the number of Traffic Advisories on
the GPSMAP 695/696 screen increases from one scan to the next. Limiting Traf-
fic Advisories only reduces the "nuisance" alerting due to proximate aircraft. For
example, when the first Traffic Advisories appear on the TIS display, the user is alerted
audibly. So long as a single aircraft remains on the TIS display, no further audio alert
is generated. If a second (or more) aircraft appears on the screen, a new audio alert
is sounded.
If the number of Traffic Advisories on the TIS display decreases and then increases,
a new audio alert is sounded. The TIS audio alert is also generated whenever TIS
service becomes available. The following TIS audio alerts are available:
• "Traffic"—TIS traffic alert received.
• "Traffic Not Available"—TIS service is not available or out of range.
Adjusting alert volume:
1) Press the MENU Key twice to access the Main Menu.
2) Turn or move the FMS Joystick to highlight 'System Setup', and press the
ENT Key.
3) Turn or move the FMS Joystick to highlight 'Sound', and press the ENT Key.
4) Move the FMS Joystick to highlight the 'Alert Volume' field.
5) Turn the FMS Joystick to select the desired volume (0-10).
6) Press the EXIT Softkey or FMS Joystick to exit.
