2. DISPLAY THE XRX FEATURE ON THE MAP

Set the XRX in communication PROFILE 2 mode in order to enable the device to send data through
the serial port.

As soon as “PROFILE 2 appears on the main page of the XRX LCD, turn DATA RECEPTION to
ON in the PCS XRX setup menu of the navigator, then select the Range Alert Radius (6Nm, 3 Nm
or 1 Nm). The logic applied to Range Alert Radius is the same as is used in the XRX.

Once the function is turned ON and the devices are correctly connected, when the XRX detects
traffic, one to three circles relative to the nearest aircraft will appear on the screen. Colors are
related to Range Alert Radius rating : White (No Threat), Yellow (Advisory) and Red (alert).
Each circle includes the aircraft’s relative altitude information in hundreds of feet, with a “+”
symbol if above and a “-“ if below. In case the aircraft is Ascending or descending an “A” or “D”
letter will be showed as well. For example :

NOTE. Circles are shown on the screen only in case of GPS reception.
