3.2 BACKLIGHTING

The backlighting of both the display and the keys can
be adjusted for the PFD and MFD. The backlighting in-
tensity ranges from 0.14% to 100.00%. Two modes exist
for adjustment:
• Auto – The G1000 adjusts the backlighting auto-
matically with reference to the amount of light in
the cockpit (default setting).
• Manual – Allows the pilot to manually adjust the
backlighting.
NOTE: Except in reversionary mode, the back-
lighting can only be adjusted from the PFD.
NOTE: No other window can be displayed in the
lower right corner of the PFD when the MENU
key is pressed to change the backlighting.
To manually adjust the backlighting for the
PFD and MFD:
1a. Turn the avionics knob (for location refer to the
Aircraft Flight Manual) to adjust the backlight-
ing.
Or
1b. Press the MENU key on the PFD to display
the PFD Setup Menu window. 'AUTO' is now
highlighted next to 'PFD DSPL'.
2. Turn the small FMS knob to display the selec-
tion window. Turn the FMS knob to select
'MANUAL', then press the ENT key.
3. With the intensity value now highlighted,

backlighting, then press the ENT key.
