IDENT FUNCTION
NOTE: In Standby Mode, the IDENT Softkey is inoperative.
Pressing the IDENT Softkey sends an ID indication to Air Traffic Control (ATC). The ID return distinguishes one transponder from all the others on the air traffic controller’s radar screen. The IDENT Softkey appears on all levels of transponder softkeys. When the IDENT Softkey is pressed, a green ‘IDNT’ indication is displayed in the mode field of the Transponder Data Box for a duration of 18 seconds.
After the IDENT Softkey is pressed while in Mode or Code Selection, the system reverts to the top-level softkeys.

FLIGHT ID REPORTING
NOTE: If the Flight ID is required but the system is not configured for it,contact a Garmin-authorized service center for configuration.
When the Flight ID must be entered before flight operation, the identifier is placed in the Timer/References Window on the PFD. The Flight ID is not to exceed seven characters. No space is needed when entering Flight ID. When a Flight ID contains a space, the system automatically removes it upon completion of Flight ID entry.
Entering a Flight ID:
1)Press the TMR/REF Softkey to display the Timer/References Window.
2)Press the FMS Knob to activate the selection cursor, if not already activated.
3)Turn the large FMS Knob to scroll down to the Flight ID.
4)Turn the small FMS Knob to enter the desired Flight ID.
5)Press the ENT Key to complete Flight ID entry.
If an error is made during Flight ID entry, pressing the CLR Key returns to the original Flight ID entry. While entering a Flight ID, turning the FMS Knob counterclockwise moves the cursor back one space for each detent of rotation. If an incorrect Flight ID is discovered after the unit begins operation, reenter the correct Flight ID using the same procedure.
