SCHEDULER
The scheduler feature can be used to enter and display reminder messages (e.g., "Change oil", "Switch
fuel tanks", "Overhaul"). 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, messages are retained until deleted, and the message timer
countdown is restarted.

1) Use the FMS Knob to select the AUX – Utility Page.
2) Push the FMS Knob to activate the flashing cursor.
