  3. Switch to the desired Mode

    • OFF: Transponder switched off

    • STANDBY: Transponder will not respond to interrogation.

    • ON: Replies to interrogations with 4-digit squawk code.

    • ALT: Replies to interrogation with altitude information.

    • Enable Ident Mode: UAV identification under ATC request (only available for ON and ALT modes)
