Once the system is placed in configuration mode, the large and small FMS knobs are used to
cycle through the different configuration pages, to change page groups, and to change pages in
a group. The FMS knob is also used to perform the following:
To activate the cursor, press the small FMS knob.
•
To cycle the cursor through different data fields, rotate the large FMS knob.
•
To change the contents of a highlighted data field, rotate the small FMS knob. This action
•
displays an options menu for the particular field, or in some cases, allows the user to enter
data for the field.
To confirm a selection, press the ENT key.
•
To cancel a selection, press the small FMS knob. Pressing the small FMS knob again turns the
cursor off. The CLR key can also be used to cancel a selection or turn the cursor off.
4.2.1 Softkeys
Some configuration pages have commands or selections that are activated by display softkeys
(Figure 4‐2). If a softkey is associated with a command, that command will be displayed directly
above the key. A grayed‐out softkey shows a command that is unavailable. A softkey that is
highlighted shows the current active selection.

CONFIGURATION PAGE GROUPS AND PAGES
Certain configuration pages critical to aircraft operation and safety are
"protected". The technician is unable to modify or change settings on
these pages unless they are authorized and equipped to do so. They are
viewable to aid in troubleshooting.
Configuration pages are grouped according to function. The active page title is displayed at the
top of the screen in the center. In the bottom right corner of the screen, the current
configuration page group, number of pages available in the group, and placement of the
current page within the group are indicated by icons. Table 4‐1 shows the order and
organization of various page groups and pages shown in configuration mode. The table is an
example only; configuration pages may change depending on the specific installation
requirements.
