1.2.1 ON/START button - Switching the Instrument ON and OFF
The ON/START button is multifunctional. If the instrument is not already powered up, a short press on the
ON/START button will switch the instrument ON. To switch the instrument OFF, press the ESC/OFF button for a
few seconds and the instrument will switch off. If an attempt is made to switch the instrument off during flight, the
instrument requires confirmation from the pilot, so the LX 7007 PRO IGC cannot be switched off by mistake. On
powering the unit, the first screen shows the firmware version, database version, serial number of the unit, and total
memory in hours available for IGC flight records. After a few seconds, a second screen shows details of the glider and
pilot. The unit is equipped with a facility of storing up to 30 pilot names. If no names are stored, the unit shows the
pilot name as UNKNOWN. By rotating the UP/DOWN selector, the display scrolls through the programmed pilots.
Once the correct pilot is selected, pressing the ENTER button selects the airfield elevation screen and the current
elevation should be entered, again using the UP/DOWN selector and the ENTER button. Similarly, the current QNH
should also be entered. The airfield elevation input is mandatory while the QNH input optional (See Para 3.1.1.1)
During flight the same button is used to start the task, to see more characters of airport names and, in the edit
menu, to go back one step if an error has been made (see paragraph APT).

important flight parameter, altitude will remain, which means that the final glide is not interupted.
