1. WAYPOINT PUSHBUTTON (WPT) - Activates the waypoint data dialed into the
left side thumbwheels (11). When pressed, the WPT pushbutton lights to indicate
which waypoint is "active". The WPT pushbutton light intensity is controlled by a
photocell (4).
2. MAGNETIC BEARING DISPLAY READOUT - Digitally displays the magnetic
bearing from the airplane to the waypoint. While VOR/DME pushbutton (5) is
pressed, the digital display reads RADIAL from the VOR station on which the
airplane is presently positioned.
3. RNAV ON/OFF PUSHBUTTON (RNAV ON) - When pressed, RNAV ON light
will illuminate and set is turned ON. When pressed again, set will be turned OFF
and the RNAV ON light will go out. The pushbutton lighting is automatically
dimmed by the photocell (4).
4. PHOTOCELL - Senses ambient cockpit light and controls brightness of pushbut-
tons (1, 3, 5
&
7) and digital displays (2
&
6).
5. VOR DME PUSHBUTTON - Provides PRESENT POSITION information as to
VOR RADIAL and DME DISTANCE digitally in positions (2) and (6) respectively
when the pushbutton is pressed.
6. DISTANCE DISPLAY READOUT - Digitally displays airplane DISTANCE TO
or FROM the waypoint. Reads by 0.1 NM increments up to 99.9 NM and by 1.0 NM
increments over 100 NM. Maximum range readout is 199 NM. While VOR/DME
