INTRODUCTION
All of us at Honeywell congratulate you on choosing this product. You
are now the owner of one of the most sophisticated yet simple-to-use
multifunction displays available today. We understand you probably
can’t wait to see it in action but before you try to use it please take the
time to read through this manual and understand its many interesting
and useful features. Time spent in familiarizing yourself with your new
KMD 550/850 unit will be more than repaid by trouble-free operation
later, and more importantly safe and accurate navigation.
We have made the operation of this unit as intuitive as possible through
the use of Power Keys and on-screen help, thus reducing pilots’ depen-
dence on the manual. You should very quickly find that handling it effi-
ciently and expertly becomes second nature to you. Don’t be afraid to
experiment. No matter which key you activate, your unit will not be dam-
aged. If you do get into a mess, simply switch off and back on again to
reset all functions. We must mention just one word of caution. Never
remove the database card while the unit is switched on and never
attempt to switch the unit on when there is no database card
installed.
We thank you for your decision to purchase a KMD 550/850 and wish
you many happy and safe hours flying.
Whenever you are using the unit for navigation in the air you should treat
it as a supplemental display system. You should always carefully com-
pare indications from your KMD 550/850 unit with the information avail-
able from all other navigation sources including GPS, NDBs, VORs,
DMEs, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety, any discrepancies
observed should be resolved immediately.
This equipment is not a replacement for your chart. It is intended as an
aid to navigation only. The database within the equipment has been
compiled from the latest official information available, and although
every care has been taken in the compilation, the manufacturers will not
be held responsible for any inaccuracy or omissions therein. NEVER
USE THE TERRAIN DISPLAYED ON THIS EQUIPMENT AS YOUR
SOLE REFERENCE FOR TERRAIN AVOIDANCE.
