To select a VOR/localizer/ILS frequency:
1. If the tuning cursor is not currently in the VLOC window, press the small left knob ( v ) momen-
tarily.
2. Rotate the large left knob ( h ) to select the desired megahertz (MHz) value. For example, the
“117” portion of the frequency “117.80”.
3. Rotate the small left knob ( f ) to select the desired kilohertz (kHz) value. For example, the
“.80” portion of the frequency “117.80”.
To make the standby frequency the active frequency, press the
V
(flip flop) key.
Auto-Tuning
A frequency may also be quickly selected from the database by simply highlighting
the desired frequency on the VOR page (see page 110) or the nearest VOR page (see
page 123) and pressing the
E key. This process is referred to as auto-tuning. Once a
frequency is selected in the standby fi eld, it may be transferred to the active frequency by
pressing the
V
key. (Auto-tuning can also be performed from VLOC frequencies listed
on the NAVCOM, airport frequency, and nearest fl ight service station pages.)

NOTE
The tuning cursor will normally appear in the COM
window, unless placed in the VLOC window by press-
ing
v . When the tuning cursor is in the VLOC window,
it will automatically return to the COM window after 30
seconds of inactivity.
The active frequency in either window cannot be
accessed directly—only the standby frequency will be
highlighted by the tuning cursor.
