message annunciator may also be installed in the aircraft instrument
panel. You should view the message at your earliest opportunity because
the unit may be alerting you to some condition of immediate concern to its
condition or to your flight. To view the message, press

M. The

Message page, which takes the whole width of the display, will appear
and show the new message. Appendix B of the KLN 900 Pilot’s Guide
contains a listing of all of the Message page messages and their mean-
ings. It is possible that several messages are displayed at one time on
the Message page. The newest message appears first and the rest in
reverse chronological order.

After reading the message, press

M again to return to the pages which

were previously in view. If all of the messages cannot be displayed on
one Message page, repeated presses of

M will show the other mes-

sages before returning to the pages which were previously being viewed.
Whenever a message condition exists which requires a specific action by
you, the message prompt will remain on but not flashing.

TMA, the message page will also instruct you to see the Airport 4 page
(airport communications) for the primary airport so that the correct com-
munications frequency may be determined.
