SCHEDULER

The Scheduler feature can be used to enter and display reminder messages (e.g.,
Oil Change, Switch fuel tanks, or Altimeter-Transponder Check) in the Messages
Window on the PFD. Messages can be set to display based on a specific date and time
(event), once the message timer reaches zero (one-time; default setting), or recurrently
whenever the message timer reaches zero (periodic). Message timers set to periodic
alerting automatically reset to the original timer value once the message is displayed.
When power is cycled, all messages are retained until deleted, and message timer
countdown is resumed.
Scheduler messages appear in the Alerts Window on the PFD. When a scheduler
message is waiting, the MSG Softkey flashes an Advisory. Pressing the MSG Softkey
opens the Alerts Window and acknowledges the scheduler message. The softkey label
no longer flashes after pressing the softkey. Pressing the MSG Softkey again removes
the Alerts Window from the display, and the scheduler message is deleted from the
message queue.
Entering a scheduler message:
1)
Select the AUX - Utility Page.
2) Press the FMS Knob momentarily to activate the flashing cursor.
3) Turn the large FMS Knob to highlight the first empty scheduler message
naming field.
4) Use the FMS Knob to enter the message text to be displayed in the
Messages Window and press the ENT Key.
5) Press the ENT Key again or use the large FMS Knob to move the cursor to
the field next to Type.
6) Turn the small FMS Knob to select the message type:
• Event—Message issued at the specified date/time
• One-time—Message issued when the message timer reaches zero
(default setting)
• Periodic—Message issued each time the message timer reaches zero
