SECTION 3:EXPANDED OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

TURN ON &SYSTEM SELECTION
Radar data is displayed wheneverWXR is selected in any mode other
than STBY or OFF. When on the ground, the radar will not transmit
until the autoactivation conditions are met (see AUTOMATIC RADAR
ACTIVATION on page15). This behavior can be temporarily overridden
by activation of the Ground Override feature. When in the air, the
radar scans continuously, always updating the memory so that
current weather is immediately available.(See also ON/OFF on page
8.)
On initial activation of the radar, the radar first looks at the part of the
sky that is near the aircraft's altitude.This data is displayed as soon
as it is available.As data is gathered from the remainder of the sky in
front of the aircraft, the display quickly fills in with any additional
information.It takes no more than 30 seconds for the complete
picture to become available.

AUTOMATIC RADAR ACTIVATION (WX/PWS QUALIFIERS)

When on the ground, the radar is in Forced Standby Mode (not
transmitting) unless Ground Override is activated by the crew.
The radar will turn on automatically under the following aircraft
conditions (called "WX/PWS Qualifiers"):
In Air, or
On Ground: Depends on installation. Typical trigger conditions
include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following:

RAAS indicates On Runway (if installed)

Groundspeed is greater than 30 knots (speed is configurable
at installation)

Longitudinal acceleration is greater than 0.15 (acceleration is
configurable at installation).
