SCHEDULED MESSAGES
When a scheduled message is activated, the MSG Button flashes inverse video
and GTC MSG flashes inverse video on the PFD. Touching the MSG Button on the
Touchscreen Controller opens the Messages Screen and acknowledges the message,
indicated by the removal of the message annunciation on the PFD and the MSG Button
ceasing to flash. Touching the MSG Button again removes the Messages Screen from
view, and the scheduled message is deleted from the message queue.
Messages can be set to display based on a specific date and time (Event), once the
message timer reaches zero (One Time), or recurrently whenever the message timer
reaches zero (Periodic). Message timers set to periodic alerting automatically reset
to the original timer value once the message is displayed. When power is cycled, all
messages are retained until deleted, and message timer countdown is resumed.
