itself until the battery’s charge is depleted or the display is turned off manually pressing and
holding button 1. Finally, if neither button is pressed before the countdown expires, the display
will automatically turn off after 30 seconds to conserve the backup battery charge.
If the aircraft is in flight, SkyView displays the message “AIRCRAFT POWER LOST” with no
additional count down. This ensures that active pilot action is required to turn off a display
when power is lost in-flight and backup battery power is available. The STAY ON and PWR OFF
buttons are still offered, but the display will stay on indefinitely unless PWR OFF is pressed.
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
A SkyView display’s backlighting (brightness) is primarily controlled by its ambient light sensor.
If you have more than one SkyView display, each display’s ambient light sensor is incorporated.
You can adjust the brightness / dimming to your preference by SCREEN > DIM to access the DIM
Menu. To decrease or increase the backlight brightness press DEC- or INC+, respectively or
simply rotate the knob labeled DIM – clockwise to brighten, counter-clockwise to dim. To set
the backlight brightness to 100%, press FULL. SkyView will not allow you to dim the display(s) to
a level that would cause it to be illegible for the ambient lighting conditions.
Reference the Display Setup Section of this guide for instructions on specifying the display’s
backlight brightness control method.
How to Enter the Joystick Function Menu
Move a joystick up, down, left, or right to enter its Joystick Function Menu. These menus are
used to specify which bug that joystick adjusts if rotated. For example, joystick 1 could be set to
adjust the heading bug and joystick 2 could be set to adjust the altitude bug.
Figure 14 illustrates the joystick menu.
