KLN 35A SNEAK PREVIEW
If you absolutely can't wait to use your KLN 35A until you've read this
Pilot's Guide, this section is for you. This page will teach you just
enough to get going and then learn by doing. This operational pre-
view assumes the KLN 35A has been properly installed, the unit was
previously operational in the same general geographical location, and
that no peripheral equipment interfaced with the KLN 35A (such as
external HSIs, CDIs, autopilots, moving map display, etc.) is to be
used at this time. If you are using this operational preview in flight, do
so only in good VFR conditions and only with an alternate means of
navigation (including pilotage) available to cross-check position.
1. Turn the unit on by pushing in the On/Off switch (the small knob
in upper left hand corner).
2. For a few seconds, the Turn On Page is displayed while the unit
runs a self-test. Afterwards, the Self-test Page is displayed. If
the KLN 35A is receiving an altitude from an encoding altimeter,
the present altitude will be displayed on line 3. The bottom line
should display Pass and a flashing Ok?. Press the
F
button
to approve the Self-test Page.
3. The Initialization Page will now be displayed. If the date and time
are incorrect by more than 10 minutes, refer to
section 3.2 of this
Pilot's Guide. The right side of the screen should show the
identifier of the nearest airport to the initial position, along with a
radial and distance from that airport waypoint. Press
F
with
the cursor flashing over Ok? to approve the Initialization Page.
4. The VFR page will now be displayed to notify you that the GPS is
for VFR use only. Press
F to approve this page.
5. A Data Base Page is now displayed showing the date the data
base expires or the date it expired. Press
F
to acknowledge
the information displayed on this page.
