Note: If the airplane is on the ground and the thrust levers are not
advanced for takeoff, WXR tests the predictive windshear system
(PWS) indications. These include PWS caution, PWS FAIL, and
PWS warning. Deactivating WXR on the EFIS control panel will not
discontinue the test and can result in automatic WXR activation on
both pilot displays. The PWS test lasts approximately 15 seconds.
