[[File:MiG-21bis radar switch panel.png|thumb|The radar switch panel on the right cockpit wall is used to power the radar and set it into beam mode if needed. The left light should only light up 1 second after it is run on - otherwise it indicates a failure and you need to power the radar off.]] | |||
Before switching the radar on, it must be in <code>Standby</code> to warm up for 2-3 min (middle position of left most switch on radar panel on right cockpit wall). Before the radar is used, the left switch must be flipped up into the <code>Run On</code> position. The red light above will flash ca. 1 second and then turn off again. If it does not turn off, then the switch must be immediately set back to the middle position, as the radar was not warmed up sufficiently (not setting it back immediately might blow off the radar). | Before switching the radar on, it must be in <code>Standby</code> to warm up for 2-3 min (middle position of left most switch on radar panel on right cockpit wall).
