•Message Window: The Message Window displays text messages for up to 64 prioritized alert messages.
Pressing the MSG Softkey displays the Message Window. Pressing the MSG Softkey a second time removes
the Message Window from the display. When the Message Window is displayed, the FMS Knob can be used to
scroll through the alert message list.
•Softkey Annunciation: When a new message is issued, the
MSG
Softkey flashes to alert the flight crew of a
new message. It continues to flash until acknowledged by pressing the softkey. Active messages are displayed
in white text. Messages that have become inactive change to gray text. The
MSG
Softkey flashes if the state of
a displayed message changes or a new message is displayed. The inactive messages can be removed from the
Message Window by pressing the flashing
MSG
Softkey.
•System Annunciations: Typically, a large red ‘X’ appears over instruments whose information is supplied by
a failed Line Replaceable Unit (LRU). See the G1000 System Annunciations Section for more information.
