3.5. MESSAGE PAGE

Whenever the KLN 94 wants to get your attention, the message prompt (a
large yellow "M" on the right side of
the screen) begins flashing (figure 3-
52). If you have a remote message
annunciator in your aircraft, it will
also begin flashing at that time. You
should view the message at your
earliest opportunity because the unit
may be alerting you to some situation of immediate concern to its condi-
tion or to your flight. A description of each possible message is included in
Appendix B of this Pilot's Guide.
To view a message:
1. Press the C button. The MSG
page will appear and show the
new message (figure 3-53).
NOTE: It is possible that several
messages are displayed at one time
on the Message page. The newest
message appears first and the rest in reverse chronological order.
After reading the message, press C again to return to the page pre-
2
viously in view. If all of the messages cannot be displayed on one
Message page, repeated presses of C will show the other mes-
sages before returning to normal operation. If a message condition
exists which requires a specific action by you, the message prompt
will remain on but will not flash.

3.6 SCRATCHPAD MESSAGES

The lower left corner of the display can also display short operational mes-
sages to the user called "scratchpad messages". These messages are
displayed for approximately five seconds, then this area returns to a dis-
play of the page type and number.
Figure 3-54 shows an example of a
scratchpad message indicating an
expired database. A complete listing
of scratchpad messages is available
in Appendix C of this Pilot's Guide.
