PREVIEW OF OPERATION
This abbreviated operation manual describes many of the frequently used
features of the KLN 900 in a condensed format for your convenience. It
does not replace the KLN 900 Pilot’s Guide. The KLN 900 has many very
useful features which are not described in this manual. Be sure to keep
your KLN 900 Pilot’s Guide with you in the aircraft to use as a reference.
To give you an idea of how easy the KLN 900 is to operate, the following
operational preview is presented. This operational preview assumes the
KLN 900 has been properly installed, the unit was previously operational
in the same general geographical location, and that no peripheral equip-
ment interfaced with the KLN 900 (such as external HSIs, CDIs, autopi-
lots, RMIs, fuel flow systems, moving map displays, 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 avail-
able to cross-check position.
1. Push the power/brightness knob located in the upper right corner of the
unit to the “in” position.
2. After a few seconds of warm up, the screen will show a Turn-On page
with the words SELF TEST IN PROGRESS at the bottom of the page.
Rotate the power/brightness knob to select the desired screen bright-
ness. If the KLN 900 is being operated without an external configuration
module, after a few seconds the Turn-On page will automatically be
replaced with the Configuration Module page. Press the
E Key to
acknowledge. If the unit is being operated with an external configuration
module, after a few seconds the Turn-On page will automatically be
replaced with the Self Test page. (Note: If the KLN 900 is being used in
the take-home mode, a Take-Home Warning page is displayed before
the Self Test page and must be acknowledged by pressing
E). The
Self Test page is recognizable by the date and time being shown on the
right side. The bottom left side of the Self Test page must display
ANNUN ON to indicate that the KLN 900 has passed an internal self
test.
In many KLN 900 installations the first two characters of the altimeter
setting BARO field will be highlighted in inverse video (dark characters
on a light background) on the right side of the screen. This area of
inverse video is called the cursor. Use the right inner knob to select the
correct first two characters of the altimeter setting. Next, turn the right
outer knob one step clockwise to position the cursor over the third char-
acter of the altimeter setting. Use the right inner knob to select the cor-
rect number. Once again turn the right outer knob one step clockwise to
