(1} The TIMER pushbutton selects the timer function and also cy-
cles the elapsed timer through each timer mode. Press the
TIMER pushbutton. The TIMER pushbutton does not remain
depressed. The co lon illuminates to annunciate that TIMER is
selected. Elapsed timer information is displayed in minutes: se-
conds.

(2) The elapsed ti mer is always in one of three modes of operati on:
zero, run, or stop.
(b) ln run mode the timer begins at :00 and counts seconds to
59:59 minutes: seconds. If left in run mode, the timer wi ll
repeatedly count from :00 to 59:59, au tomatica lly roll over
to :00, and continue counting.
(c) ln stop mode the timer is stopped and the present cou nt on
the display is held until th e timer sequence is advanced to
the zero mode.
(3) Selecting oth er indicator fun ctions (NM, MIN, or KTS) and
reselecting the TIMER fun ction does not change th e mode of
operation of the elapsed timer.

identification signal
The coded audio identification signa l from the DME ground beacon is
heard in the aircraft audio system every 30 seconds. This ident is syn-
chronized with the VOR station ident so that four VOR idents (6 se-
conds apart) can be heard at 1020Hz. The fifth ident (DME) can be dis-
tinguished by its higher tone (1350 Hz).
self-test
b. Re lease TEST pushbutton. The legend and the decimal or co lon for
the previously selected mode ill uminates. The indicator displays
8888 for the memory period (8 to 12 seconds).
c. After the me mory period, set the contro l back to the previous chan-
ne l. Norma l DME operation is resumed. (Dashes are displayed in
NM, M IN, or KTS mode unti l the DME-40 Receiver-Transmitter
reacquires the target. Elapsed timer operation is not affected by
se lf-test.)
A comp lete test of DME-40 system operation requires the capabi lity to
lock onto a DME ground beacon and hear the audio ident.
DME frequency ho ld capabi lity enables the pi lot to change the station
being used as a VOR reference without changing the station being
used as a DME reference. If the system is turned off or a transient oc-
curs in the power lines, frequency hold wi ll be lost and the DME fre-
quency ho ld switch must be returned to the normal position to re load
the desired frequency into the DME-40.

Footnotes
1. The slant range is the straight line distance from the aircraft to the
ground station. Ground range from the station can be computed by
using altitude and slant range. The difference between slant range and
ground range is usually insignificant except when flying over the
selected ground station. For example: an aircraft that is 100 nautical
miles ground range from a station and flying at 35,000 feet altitude is
approximately 100.17 miles slant range from the ground station. When
flying directly over the ground station, th e DME distance information
is the aircraft altitude above the DME station.
b. Ensure that NAV select switch (if avai lable) is not in H (HOLD) posi-
tion following removal of primary power.
d. Listen for DME ident. Absence of ident may indicate station is off
the air or undergoing maintenance.
