is similar in format to the index
pages, but with some important
differences. The title line consists
of title text and a relative page
number indication, as with the
index pages. The checklist item
portion consists of eleven lines of
text, with the first two character
columns reserved like the index
pages. A checklist entry can
span more than one line, but
cannot span across checklist
pages.
The user may specify the color of
the title line, the color of the cur-
sor line, the color of the checked
items, and the color of the
unchecked items. Note that this
implies that the unchecked color
of each item cannot be selected
separately. This helps to avoid
color confusion within a checklist
page. Also, each item is either
checked or unchecked, so no
partially-completed checklist
items apply.

NOTE PAGES

A separate portion of CP469A
memory is reserved for the entry
of data for reference by the flight
crew, and can be modified sepa-
rately from the checklist page
data. The note page portion of
memory will normally be small,
allowing a quick update from the
PC to that portion of checklist
memory.

The DEU utility running on a PC
is used to create note pages sim-
ilar to the way the checklist is
created. The NOTES entry on
the root index page points to an
index page listing entries for note

page lists, or other note page
index pages. Index pages in the
note-page sub-tree are formatted
just like regular index pages,
except that the indicators for
completed/partially completed
lists will never appear. Only the
cursor will appear in the first two
character columns. The note
pages themselves are similar in
appearance to the checklist
pages. They have a title line with
relative page numbering, and 11
lines of text.

The user may select the color of
the note page title line, the color
of the text on the page, and the
color of the cursor line.

CLEARING CHECKLIST ITEMS

There are two ways to quickly
return all checklist items to the
unchecked state. The first is to
remove power from the CP 469A
for more than 15 seconds. The
second is to move the cursor
over the CLEAR ALL CHECKED
ITEMS on the root index page,
and press the ENTER key. This
will cause a warning page to be
displayed, with instructions on
what to do to clear all the
checked items.

The ENTER key can be used to
uncheck individual checklist
items by placing the cursor on a
checked item and then pressing
ENT.
