SOFTkEY FUNCTION

The softkeys are located along the bottoms of the displays. The softkeys shown depend on the softkey level

or page being displayed. The bezel keys below the softkeys can be used to select the appropriate softkey. When
a softkey is selected, its color changes to black text on gray background and remains this way until it is turned
off, at which time it reverts to white text on black background.

Another means of selecting softkeys on the MFD is by using the GCU 475 Control Unit:

Selecting a softkey using the Control Unit

1)

Move the softkey selection box to the desired softkey using the arrows of the SEL Key.

2)

Press the center of the SEL Key to select the desired softkey.

PFD SOFTKEYS

The CDI, IDENT, TMR/REF, NRST, and ALERTS Softkeys undergo a momentary change to black text

on gray background and automatically switch back to white text on black background when selected. If
messages remain after acknowledgement, the ALERTS Softkey is black on white.

The PFD softkeys provide control over flight management functions, including GPS, NAV, terrain, traffic,

and lightning (optional). Each softkey sublevel has a BACK Softkey which can be pressed to return to
the previous level. The ALERTS Softkey is visible in all softkey levels. For the top level softkeys and the
transponder (XPDR) levels, the IDENT Softkey remains visible.
