5. OPERATION

This section guides you through each of the EFIS main page menu selections and their sub-menus. To enter the EFIS
menu system, press any button.

POWER – Power on/off

When the EFIS-D6 is turned off but still has a power source via Master switch power, Emergency backup power, or
Internal battery, press Button 1 to turn the unit on. Likewise, once the unit is on and no menus are displayed, push and
hold
the leftmost button to turn it off. While power is still connected, the unit is never fully turned off. It simply enters an
extremely low-power state (except when the backup battery is discharged; in that case the EFIS will charge the battery
then return to the low-power state). It is acceptable to have the EFIS-D6 on during engine crank. It immediately powers
on upon application of external power.

BARO – Changing Altimeter Setting

In the EFIS > BARO menu, you can adjust the altimeter
setting. When the BARO menu is displayed, the value-
setting box shows the current altimeter setting. The DEC-
and INC+ buttons change the altimeter setting by 1/100

th

inHg or 1 mbar, depending upon your selected units. As you change the altimeter setting, the altitude indicators change
accordingly. Adjust the altimeter setting until the altitude indicators display the correct altitude for your location or the
altimeter setting matches the current barometric pressure value.

The altimeter setting can be set in units of inches of mercury (inHg) or millibars (mb). To change the units, simply press
buttons 1 or 2, corresponding to the UNITS label. To reset the altimeter setting to standard day pressure (29.92 inHg),
press button 3, corresponding to 29.92 (inHg) or 1013 (mb).
