ANNUNCIATIONS AND ALERTS

A.1 INTRODUCTION
NOTE: The Aircraft Flight Manual takes prece-
dence over any conflicting information found in
this document.
The G1000 Alerting System conveys alerts to the pilot
using a combination of the following items:
• Annunciation Window: The Annunciation
window displays abbreviated annunciation text.
Text color is based on alert levels described later in
the Alert Levels Definitions section. The Annuncia-
tion window is located to the right of the Altitude
and Vertical Speed windows on the display. Up to
12 annunciations can be displayed simultaneously
in the Annunciation window. A white horizontal
line separates annunciations that are acknowledged
from annunciations that are not yet acknowledged.
Higher priority annunciations are displayed towards
the top of the window. Lower priority annunciations
are displayed towards the bottom of the window.
• Alerts Window: The Alerts window displays alert
text messages. Up to 64 prioritized alert messages
can be displayed in the Alerts window. Pressing the
ALERTS softkey displays the Alerts window. Press-
ing the ALERTS softkey a second time removes the
Alerts window from the display. When the Alerts
window is displayed, the pilot can use the large
FMS knob to scroll through the alert message list.
• Softkey Annunciation: During certain alerts, the
ALERTS softkey may appear as a flashing annuncia-
tion to accompany an alert. The ALERTS softkey
assumes a new label consistent with the alert level
Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for Cessna Nav III
(WARNING, CAUTION, or ADVISORY). By press-
ing the softkey annunciation, the pilot acknowledges
awareness of the alert. The softkey then returns to
the previous ALERTS label. If alerts are still present,
the ALERTS label will be displayed in inverse video
(white background with black text). The pilot can
press the ALERTS softkey a second time to view
alert text messages.
• System Annunciations: Typically, a large red 'X'
appears in windows when a failure is detected in the
LRU providing the information to the window. See
the G1000 System Annunciations section for more
information.
• Audio Alerting System: The G1000 system issues
audio alert tones when specific system conditions
are met. See the Alert Levels Definitions section for
more information.
