3.1 User Interface
3.1.1 FMS Knob
The FMS knob is the primary control for the G1000 system. Operation is similar to the Garmin
400/500 Series units.
To cycle through different configuration screens:
•
To change page groups: Rotate the large FMS knob.
To change pages in a group: Rotate the small FMS knob.
To activate the cursor for a page, press the small FMS knob directly in, as one would push a
•
regular button.
To cycle the cursor through different data fields, rotate the large FMS knob.
•
To change the contents of a highlighted data field, rotate the small FMS knob. This action either
•
brings up an options menu for the particular field, or in some cases allows the operator to enter
data for the field.
To confirm a selection, press the ENT key.
•
To cancel a selection, press the small FMS knob in again, deactivating the cursor. The CLR key
•
may also be used to cancel a selection or deactivate the cursor.
3.1.2 Softkeys
Some pages have commands or selections that are activated by the GDU 1040 softkeys. If a softkey is
associated with a command, that command will be displayed directly above the key. A grayed-out
softkey shows a command that is unavailable. A softkey that is highlighted shows the current active
selection.
