When the transfer is complete, if there are new and current databases to
be used, and if the aircraft is stopped and has yet to take-off, the pilot will
be prompted with the option to restart the unit that has the new databases
transferred to it. During the restart process, the unit may prompt you to update
(transfer from the card to the unit' s memory) to the newer databases so they can
be used. Only the aviation database will require a prompt, all the others will
switch during a restart without a prompt.
NOTE: This feature is available in SW Versions 7.00, and later.
NOTE: Restarting the G500/600 must only be performed when the aircraft
is on the ground as navigation and communication from the restarted unit
will be lost for a period of time.
1. With the G500/600 turned off, insert the database card.
2. Turn the G500/600 on. The Database SYNC will occur
automatically in the background. During the Database SYNC
process, normal operation of the G500/600 is not affected.
3. On the System Status page, press the DB SYNC soft key to
view the transfer process.
