Annunciations And Alerts - Garmin G1000 NXi Pilot's Manual

ANNUNCIATIONS AND ALERTS

The Alerting System conveys alerts using the following items:
• Annunciation Window: The Annunciation Window displays abbreviated annunciation text. Text color is
based on alert levels described in the following section. The Annunciation Window is located to the right of
the Altimeter and Vertical Speed Indicator. All Cessna Nav III annunciations can be displayed simultaneously
in the Annunciation Window. A white horizontal line separates annunciations that are acknowledged from
annunciations that are not yet acknowledged. Higher priority annunciations are displayed toward the top of
the window. Lower priority annunciations are displayed toward the bottom of the window.
• Alerts Window: The Alerts Window displays text messages for up to 64 prioritized alert messages. Pressing
the Alerts Softkey displays the Alerts Window. Pressing the Alerts Softkey a second time removes the Alerts
Window from the display. When the Alerts Window is displayed, the FMS Knob can be used to scroll through
the alert list.
• Softkey Annunciation: During certain alerts, a Warning or Caution Softkey may appear as a flashing
annunciation to accompany an alert. The Alerts Softkey assumes a new label consistent with the alert level
(Warning, Caution). By pressing the softkey when flashing an annunciation, the alert is acknowledged. The
softkey label then returns to Alerts. If alerts are still present, the Alerts label is displayed in white with black
text. Pressing the Alerts Softkey a second time views the alert text messages.
• System Annunciations: Typically, a large red 'X' appears over instruments whose information is supplied by
a failed Line Replaceable Unit (LRU). See the System Annunciations Section for more information.
