How to Reboot the Display
Press and hold buttons 1, 2 and 5 simultaneously to instantly reboot the system. This may be
helpful if you need to cycle power after changing certain settings and for general
troubleshooting.
How to Manually Adjust the Backlight Brightness or Dim Level
SkyView’s display backlighting is controlled by its ambient light sensor to actively adjust the
brightness based on the current lighting conditions in the cockpit. The brightness is
synchronized across multiple displays and SkyView network panel mounted modules (COM
Radio, Knob Control Panel and AP Control Panel).
If however, you find that the displays are too bright or not bright enough for you, you can
adjust the brightness by pressing SCREEN on the Main Menu and then pressing DIM. This menu
allows you to manually choose an offset from the default brightness values based on current
ambient lighting. This lets you fine tune the brightness of the display to your preference, while
still allowing SkyView to adjust for changing lighting conditions.
To decrease or increase the backlight brightness press DEC- or INC+, respectively or twist the
joystick labeled DIM. The current offset appears in a window above the DIM knob. Press
DEFAULT to quickly reset the offset to zero. Press FULL to quickly set the offset to its maximum.
Press BACK twice to exit the Dim Menu and return to the Main Menu.
SkyView will not dim the display to a level that would cause it to be illegible for the ambient
lighting conditions.
On boot up, depending on your SkyView settings, the dimming offset will either be reset to zero
or remember the previous setting. See the SkyView System Installation Guide for further
information about the brightness settings.
How to Enter the Joystick Function Menu
These menus are used to specify which bug or parameter that joystick adjusts if turned. For
example, joystick 1 could be set to adjust the heading bug and joystick 2 could be set to adjust
the altitude bug.
Figure 5 illustrates the joystick menu when all possible bugs and functions are enabled. The
joystick menu on your display may contain fewer items than seen here:
