Backlight Set and Contrast Set (LCD Display only)
The CONTRAST SET menu allows setting the contrast level for the LCD display. The polarizer lens on
the LCD display can cause an apparent lack of contrast in an off-angle viewing of the display. The
contrast adjustment can be used to improve the readability of the display for these off angle viewing
installations. This menu is not available for the OLED display as it is not required.
To enter the CONTRAST ADJUST election, perform the following steps:
1. Enter the PREFERENCES SETTINGS menus as detailed previously and select the
BACKLIGHT SET and CONTRAST SET menu.
2. Press and release the H MODE button. The arrow
will be placed to the left of the BACKLIGHT SET
value.
3. Rotate the encoder to change the value.
4. Press and release the H MODE button to advance the cursor to the CONTRAST SET value.
5. Rotate the encoder to change the contrast setting for best view ability.
6. Press and release the H MODE button. The cursor arrow will disappear.
The CONTRAST ADJUST procedure is complete. The encoder can now be used to select another
menu screen.
Flight Distance and Flight Time
The flight distance and flight time (FL DIST, FL TIME) displays accumulate flight time and flight distance
when a speed of 45 knots or above is maintained. These counters can be individually reset to zero at
any time by selecting the appropriate display line and then pressing the encoder button to perform the
zeroing.
For these timers to operate, the host GPS must be on and have achieved satellite lock. The time and
distance information is saved in non-volatile memory once per minute so that, if power is lost
momentarily, a maximum of only 1 minute of time and distance information will be lost.
The flight distance counter measures actual distance flown, including excursions from the programmed
flight plan. For example, if you flew a 50 mile detour between two waypoints 200 miles apart, the actual
distance added to the distance counter will be 250 miles.
All distance measurements are based on nautical miles so it is recommended the host GPS receiver be
programmed to measure the distance in nautical miles vs. statute miles or kilometers.
