Flashing light and tone | Flashing light and tone indicate one or several aircraft being picked up. The 4 lights represent the approximate directions. The faster the flashes, the closer. Steady is launch. | ||
The RWR can be toggled between '''D'''ay (yellow lights) and '''N'''ight (red lights) by pressing on the gauge - but not in the middle, as that is the test button). | The RWR can be toggled between '''D'''ay (yellow lights) and '''N'''ight (red lights) by pressing on the gauge - but not in the middle, as that is the test button). | ||
Each of the four light bulbs represents one of the four sensors, not the system as a whole. Depending on the relative position of the other aircraft, more than one light bulb might be on, as the aspect ranges of the sensors overlap each other. If there is more than one aircraft in range, then the blinking of the light bulbs might get infrequent/not constant rhythm, as each aircraft's radar scan passes over the sensors. | Each of the four light bulbs represents one of the four sensors, not the system as a whole.
