ONE MAIN GEAR WOW in AIR mode.
If the GEAR HANDLE will NOT move to the UP position after takeoff, you should:
SELECT GROUND SPOILER SWITCH OFF
REFER TO QRH CHECKLIST for LANDING GEAR FAILURE TO RETRACT.
The following conditions will sound the landing gear warning horn:
The aircraft is on the ground (WOW switches compressed), the Air Data System (ADS) indicates less than sixty knots (60kts), and the gear handle is in the retract position.
