long as 5 minutes. A message will be displayed onscreen: CALCULATING MAGNETIC
CALIBRATION VALUES.

12. Wait for the message CALIBRATION COMPLETE before attempting to use the EFIS-

D60 or remove power. Press BACK to leave the menu.

This completes the EDC-D10A calibration process. The process can be repeated as often as
desired. The overall accuracy of the compass depends on the installation location (away from
any ferrous materials or current carrying wires or devices), the installation alignment (aligned
with the EFIS-D60 in pitch, roll, and yaw), and the calibration procedure (accurately aligning the
aircraft with North, East, West, and South and having the correct magnetic inclination angle
loaded into the EFIS-D60). If the compass performance is not adequate for your usage, we
suggest that you investigate each of these factors and try to optimize your installation for each
factor.
If the heading shown onscreen is off by a small, but constant amount, you can change a heading
offset in the EFIS-D60 which will correct this. Orient your plane in a known direction,
preferably on a compass rose at the airport. Navigate to the Heading Adjustment menu by
pressing SETUP > MAGADJ. Increment or decrement the value of the heading offset until the
EFIS-D60 heading corresponds to the direction in which your plane is pointed.

Configure Airspeed Color Thresholds

To configure the airspeed bar color thresholds for your unit enter the SETUP > IASCLR menu.
This displays the Airpseed Color Threshold menu. In this menu, enter the values for five
airspeed constants (Vso, Vs1, Vfe, Vno, and Vne), each of which has its own button. Enter these
values in units of knots, mph, or km/h depending on what airspeed units you are currently using
(you may change the displayed airspeed units via SETUP > UNITS > IAS).
Perform the following steps for each airspeed constant:

1. Press SEL to select the digit you wish to increment or decrement.
2. Press DEC- or INC+ to decrement or increment the selected digit.
3. Press BACK to return to the previous menu.

You will not be able to see some of the colors until the aircraft has achieved airspeeds in
the range of each threshold
