NAVIGATION PAGES
The different NAV pages can be viewed sequentially using the NAV MODE BUTTON. Each click of the
button steps the display to the next page, and the last click recycles the pages back to the first page.
The active Nav frequency can be directly changed in the OBS, BEARING, RADIAL, and Timer pages by
clicking on the NAV FREQUENCY SELECT KNOB and then using the knob to enter the new value.
When entering data there is a rectangle behind the active frequency to indicate you are in the data
entry state. The active frequency can be exchanged in these pages by clicking the NAV FREQUENCY
EXCHANGE BUTTON.
NAVIGATION OBS PAGE
In the default page, click the NAV MODE BUTTON once to get to the OBS page. The OBS page
displays a typical CDI with a needle that shifts left or right depending on the relative position of the
aircraft to a received signal. Centering the CDI needle using the EFIS CONTROL PANEL will also center
the needle in the KX 165A. A TO or FROM annunciation will be displayed in the center of the CDI
scale if a DME signal is being tracked. Also, the direction to the signal will be displayed in the standby
frequency location. A dashed horizontal line and the word FLAG are displayed if no signal is received.
If the signal is from a localizer, the direction annunciation is replaced by the letters LOC.
NAVIGATION BEARING PAGE
Click on the NAV MODE BUTTON once again to get to the BEARING page. This page displays the
bearing to or from a received signal station. The value is in degrees magnetic north. When tracking
to a station the letters TO will be annunciated.
NAVIGATION RADIAL PAGE
Clicking the NAV MODE BUTTON again brings up the RADIAL page. The radial page displays the radial
in degrees magnetic north from the station. The letters FR will be annunciated to show that tracking
is occurring.
TIMER PAGE
Click the NAV MODE BUTTON again to get to the timer page. The timer is displayed in a min:sec
format. The default page shows the count-up timer. If the timer has not been reset, the time shown
will be the time passed from when the unit was powered up. The count-up timer can be reset to 0 by
clicking on the NAV FREQUENCY EXCHANGE BUTTON. Depressing the NAV FREQUENCY EXCHANGE
BUTTON for longer than 2 seconds when the NAV FREQUENCY SELECT KNOB is in the out position
will stop the count-up timer and bring up the count-down timer. When entering this page, there is a
rectangle over the time display showing the readiness to enter a value to count down from. Enter
the value desired using the NAV FREQUENCY SELECT KNOB. (note: the NAV FREQUENCY SELECT
KNOB must be in the out position to enter data into the count-down timer, else the knob will be
used to change the active frequency). Click on the NAV FREQUENCY CHANGE BUTTON to start the
countdown. When the count-down has started, clicking on the NAV FREQUENCY SELECT KNOB will
reset the value back to the value entered. The count-down timer is stopped by clicking on the NAV
EXCHANGE BUTTON again. To exit the count-down timer page and return to the count-up timer
page, hold down the FREQUENCY EXCHANGE BUTTON for longer than 2 seconds. Clicking the NAV
MODE BUTTON again will get you back to the main Nav page.
