those of KJFK (figure 3-16). If
necessary, the latitude and longi-
tude may be entered manually.
8. When all information on the
Initialization page is correct, move
the cursor to Ok? and press
F
to move on.
9. The VFR page will be displayed to notify you that the GPS is for
VFR use only.
10. The Data Base page will now be displayed with the cursor over
Acknowledge?. Line 1 indicates whether an Americas, Atlantic,
or Pacific data base is being used. If the data base is current, line
3 will show the date when the data base expires (figure 3-17). If,
on the other hand, the data base
is out of date, line 3 shows the
date that it expired (figure 3-
18). The KLX 135A will still
function with an out of date data
base; however, you must exer-
cise extreme caution and always
verify that the data base informa-
tion is correct before using
information from an out-of-date
data base. Press
F
to acknowl-
edge the information on the Data
Base page.
WARNING: The accuracy of the data base information is
assured only if the data base is current. Operators using an out-
of-date data base do so entirely at their own risk.
A waypoint page for the waypoint which was active when the KLX
135A was last turned off will be displayed on the screen. If the last
active waypoint was an airport, the APT 4 page showing the airport’s
communications frequencies will be displayed (figure 3-19). We
thought you’d like that! Almost
always, the waypoint which was
active when you last turned the KLX
135A off is the airport where you land-
ed. Therefore, when you get ready to
depart, the airport communication fre-
quencies for that airport will
automatically be displayed for you! If you wish to select one or two of
the airport frequencies to QuickTune™ the COMM, see section 5.1.5,
“Using QuickTune™ Frequency Selection”.
