Getting Started; Introduction; Initializing Your Unit - Honeywell KMD-150 Pilot's Manual

Getting Started

GETTING STARTED
This section of the manual is designed to provide you with a quick refer-
ence guide into the operation of your Bendix/King KMD 150 unit; taking
you step by step through the most common functions. If more detail is
required, please refer to the appropriate sections in this manual. Where
the KMD 150 is connected to an external GPS source, operation may
differ slightly. These differences are explained in italic text after each
paragraph.

INTRODUCTION

Your KMD 150 unit is
operated via a joystick, a
series of 5 soft keys, and
a push/pull/rotary
ON/OFF/brightness con-
trol. The joystick allows
movement of the pointer
in MAP mode and is used
for all forms of data entry
or selection. The appro-
priate key labels for a
particular page are configured in software and drawn alongside the
appropriate rubber key. The rotary brightness control is used for
adjusting the brightness of your screen.

INITIALIZING YOUR UNIT

This procedure should have been carried out by your installer, but is
included here for your reference. When outside of the hanger with a
good all round view of the sky, the unit will achieve an initial position fix
within 15 minutes. Ensuring that your GPS has rough UTC, date and
position information can significantly speed up this process. To check
this switch on the unit, select the HELP key followed by GPS STATUS.
