The current page type name and sub-page number is displayed below the screen. To change pages,
the cursor button function must be off, and in the case of the right group, the RIGHT INNER KNOB
must be out.
Data entry into the left group pages is initiated by going to the appropriate page and then clicking on
the LEFT CURSOR BUTTON. When the cursor button is clicked, a rectangle will appear behind the
first data entry field and the value can be changed using the LEFT INNER KNOB. Data entry fields, and
the accompanying background rectangle, are changed using the LEFT OUTER KNOB. When changed
to a new field, the inner knob is used once more to change the value. Click again on the cursor
button to exit the cursor function.
Below is an example of entering 3 numbers into a page:
Switch the unit on by clicking on the POWER/BRT/DIM KNOB BUTTON, and then clicking the
ENTER BUTTON once to accept the information and to enter the pages.
Say we want to replace the value 205 with the value 123 as the calculated airspeed (CAS).
Use the LEFT INNER and OUTER KNOBs to go to the CAL 2 page.
Now click on the LEFT CURSOR BUTTON and a rectangle appears behind the number 2.
Click on the bottom left of the left inner knob to decrease the 2 to a 1.
Now click on the upper right or left outer knob to shift the data entry field, and rectangle to
the second digit, 0.
Click on the bottom right inner knob 2 times to increase the value to 2.
Click on the outer knob to get to the next field, and then click 2 times on the left inner knob
to decrease the value from 5 to 3. If a mistake is made, you can scroll back to the mistaken
value with the left outer knob and then change it using the left inner knob.
The value 123 is now displayed, and clicking on the cursor button will enter the value and
exit the cursor function. In general, the cursor function can be exited at any time by clicking
on the cursor button. Also keep in mind that the numbers can be entered using your
keyboard.
Data is entered into the right group pages in the same manner as described for the left group. The
major difference is that the RIGHT INNER KNOB has an "in" and "out" position, and each is involved
in different functions. Below is an example of changing the VOR from ABC to XYZ:
Use the RIGHT OUTER KNOB to go to the VOR page.
Click the RIGHT INNER KNOB to the in position, and then click on the RIGHT CURSOR
BUTTON.
The data entry field to be changed is highlighted by a background rectangle.
Click the RIGHT INNER KNOB and a rectangle appears over the first data entry field.
Use the right inner knob to change the letter A to the letter X.
Next click on the right outer knob to shift the data entry field, and rectangle, over to the
next letter.
Use the right inner knob to change the letter B to the letter Y.
Use the outer and inner knobs to change the last field as above.
