Messages and Unit Settings
The GNC 250’s MSG key provides access to system messages and allows you to cus-
tomize your GPSCOM to your own preferences through a settings submenu. Whenever
the GNC 250 needs to alert you to a navigation, communication or system message, the
annunciator light next to the
M key will flash. Some messages are advisory in nature
(e.g., the arrival and countdown alarms), while others may require your immediate atten-
tion (e.g., a stuck microphone message). For a complete list of GNC 250 messages,
please see Appendix D.
To view a message, press M. Press M again to return to the previous page.
The GNC 250’s settings submenu is also accessed from the MSG key.
To view the settings submenu, press and hold M for more than 2 seconds.
Once the settings submenu has been accessed, the following setup pages are available
by rotating O with the flashing cursor inactive:
• CDI scale settings • Mag. var./arrival alarm settings
• Nearest airport search • Battery saver
• Display intensity settings • Trip timer settings
• Navigation units • SUA settings
• Map datums • I/O Settings (channel 2 only)
The first available page under the settings submenu is the CDI settings page, which
allows you to define the scale of the GNC 250’s course deviation indicator. 71
