Once an item is selected PREV, MENU, and NEXT page options will be
displayed. The softkeys allow changing to the previous (PREV) and next
(NEXT) pages for that category. The MENU softkey takes you back to the
sub-menu page. (HINT: The PREV and NEXT softkeys will only select the
pages within that category. To change between categories you must return
to the Main Menu first.)
The following sections describe the function of each item provided under the
Main Menu and sub-menu pages.
8.5 OPERATING MODE/NEAREST AIRPORT SEARCH (SETUPS)
From this page, you may change
between various operating modes by
highlighting the operating mode field
and pressing CLR. You may select
simulator mode, normal mode, battery
saver mode or AutoLocate mode. (See
Section 1.5 for a description of each
mode.)
Below the operating mode field is a reference waypoint field to define an initial
position. In simulator mode you may designate a starting point from which
the simulation will begin. In normal and battery saver modes, the initial
position may be defined to reduce satellite acquisition time.
To define an initial position...
· Select the desired operating mode by placing the cursor on the
operating mode field and pressing CLR.
· Press ENT to select the desired mode.
· Enter the identifier of the desired reference waypoint (airport, VOR,
NDB, intersection or user waypoint) and press ENT.
· Enter the bearing from the reference waypoint to the desired location
and press ENT. The bearing will be true or magnetic depending on the
unit setups. (See Section 8.6.)
· Enter the distance from the reference waypoint to the desired location
and press ENT. The distance will be in nautical miles, statute miles or
kilometers depending on unit setups. (See Section 8.6.) (HINT: If a
distance of zero is entered, the initial position will be at the selected
reference waypoint.)
