KLX 135A SNEAK PREVIEW
If you absolutely can't wait to use your KLX 135A 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 KLX 135A has been properly installed, the unit
was previously operational in the same general geographical loca-
tion, and that no peripheral equipment interfaced with the KLX 135A
(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 with the On/Off/Volume knob (the small knob in
the upper left hand corner). Adjust the COMM audio volume as
desired by pulling this knob out (breaking the squelch), turning it
to an appropriate level and pushing it back in.
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 KLX 135A 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.
