2.7 Cooling Air The GDL 5X/5XR does not have provisions for attaching cooling air, however the thermal characteristics of the installation should always be assessed. An undesirable thermal condition could be created due to the unit's own internal power dissipation combined with restricted ventilation, or due to heat generated by adjacent equipment. Limiting thermal build up, by means of fan or natural convection is always a good practice and recommended to increase the product life. 2.8 Configuration, and Adjustment Options The GDL 5X/5XR has several configuration/adjustment options. More information about these configuration items can be found in the connected display pilot's guide. The configuration/adjustments are as follows: • Cabin Pressure Setting ◦ Pressurized Cabin or Unpressurized Cabin • Attitude Sensor Reset ◦ Use this to zero the pitch/roll to the current aircraft attitude. • Compatibility Mode ◦ Using this setting may improve Garmin Pilot Connext data connections. • Auto Reconnect Settings for paired wireless devices The GDL 5X/5XR products can simultaneously support up to: 2 wireless display devices, 1 wireless audio device, 2 wired display devices, and 1 wired audio device. NOTE If poor Connext wireless performance is observed, check the auto reconnect settings and disable any devices that are not intended to be used. 190-02087-10 Rev. 1 GDL 51(R)/52(R) Installation Manual Page 2-6

unit's own internal power dissipation combined with restricted ventilation, or due to heat generated by
adjacent equipment. Limiting thermal build up, by means of fan or natural convection is always a good
practice and recommended to increase the product life.
