SCREEN LAYOUT/CURSORS/FREQ SELECTION/DATA ENTRY Screen Layout (windows) Active Frequency on top & Standby on bottom (active window highlighted by cursor) { COM Window { VLOC Window GPS Window { The 400W-series display is divided into four separate "windows" (or screen areas). The top left 1/4 of the display provides a COM window (top two lines) and a VLOC window (bottom two lines) The three lines at the bottom left of the display are used for terrain, flight phase, and GPS integrity annunciators. The right 3/4 of the display consists of a GPS window, which is where you'll find the various navigation, waypoint information and settings "pages." Each unique screen of information is referred to as a page. Pages are typically selected using the small and large right knobs-with the cursor removed from the GPS window. See the following page for details on arrangement of the 400W-series main pages. Cursors There are two separate cursors: a tuning cursor and a GPS window cursor. The tuning cursor is used to select the standby COM or VLOC frequency. If desired, press the small left knob to move the tuning cursor to the VLOC window. Then, use the small and large left knobs to select the desired frequency. The COM and VLOC flipflop keys are used to swap the active and standby frequencies. Push in on small right knob and then turn the large right knob to move the GPS window cursor around the page. Frequency Selection 1. If the tuning cursor is not currently in the desired window (COM or VLOC), press the small left knob momentarily to switch the highlight between the COM and VLOC windows. Adjusting the frequencies with the large and small left knobs will affect the standby frequency. 2. Turn the large left knob to select the desired megahertz (MHz) value. For example, the "117" portion of the frequency "117.80". 3. Turn the small left knob to select the desired kilohertz (kHz) value. For example, the ".80" portion of the frequency "117.80". 4. To activate the selected frequency, press the appropriate flip-flop key to swap the COM or VLOC frequency from the standby into the active window. To Quickly Tune and Activate the 121.500 Emergency Channel (GNS 430W and GNC 420W only) 1. Press and hold the COM flip/flop key for approximately two seconds. Data Entry Data is entered in the GPS window using the large and small right knobs. The large right knob is used to move the cursor between fields.
