PART 1 - DESCRIPTIVE
(2) When the twist-grip is set to minimum range,
the radar is overridden. This is to enable the
pilot to partially cage the GGS gyro during
violent manoeuvres.
(3) When the desired target is near the ground
(below 5,000 ft.) and the radar has locked on
to the ground it is better to select REJECT
IN than REJECT OUT to lock on to the
target.
(a) The radar ranging ON/OFF switch (35) on the port shelf
controls the system; an adjacent magnetic indicator shows
white with the system in use and black when its use is
discontinued.

amber warning light (20) on the port shelf indicates that
telebriefing is in use. The pilot's press-to-speak switch
is adjacent.
