Spanish term or phrase: bajo guarda
En un manual de operaciones de un avión, aparece lo siguiente:

El interruptor de cockpit tiene tres posiciones:

ON: Ilumina todas las luces de emergencia.
ARMED: Siempre se encuentra en esta posición, bajo guarda. Ilumina las luces de emergencia automáticamente si hay una pérdida de energía eléctrica.
OFF: Previene la activación de las luces.

¿Saben a qué se refiere con "bajo guarda" y cuál sería su traducción?

Muchas gracias.

safety switch


Explanation:
Hablamos de un interruptor de seguridad para que la palanca esté siempre en la posición ARMED para que si hay pérdida de corriente, o una desaceleración súbita, las luces se enciendan automáticamente. Están cubiertos por una caperuza roja, o con un pasador para retirar y en otras ocasiones la protección es un alambre que hay que cortar, para el caso de las luces se usan las caperuzas metálicas que con presión se levantan permitiendo operar la palanca.
Acá hay una imagen de un "safety switch" http://www.zex.com/Base/Images/Products/175-300_NitrousSafet...

Veamos como trabaja este interruptor en un avión tipo Cessna

In the ARM position (normal flight mode), the amber light next to the switch extinguishes, but the emergency lights do not illuminate unless either the passenger safety switch is placed in
the PASS SAFETY ON position, normal airplane power is lost, or a 5G impact is sustained to the airplane.

Si es un interruptor resortado, que permite levantar la caperuza, mover la palanca y que se cierra por presión nuevamente, hablamos de un spring loaded switch
