4.2 CONFIGURATION PAGE GROUPS AND PAGES
Certain "protected" configuration pages are critical to aircraft operation
and safety. The technician is unable to modify or change settings on
theses pages. They are viewable to aid in troubleshooting.
Configuration pages are grouped according to function. The active page title is displayed at the
top of the screen in the center. In the bottom right corner of the screen, the current configuration
page group, number of pages available in the group, and placement of the current page within the
group are indicated by icons. The page groups and pages listed in this section are nonspecific.
Page groups and pages can change depending on the configuration in a specific aircraft (Table 4-
1).

4.2.1 User Interface

Once the G1000 is placed in configuration mode, the large and small FMS knob is used to cycle
through the different configuration pages, to change page groups, and to change pages in a
group. The FMS knob is also used to perform the following:
To activate the cursor press the small FMS knob.
•
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
•
displays an options menu for the particular field, or in some cases, allows the user to enter
data for the field.
To confirm a selection press the ENT key.
•
To cancel a selection, press the small FMS knob. Pressing the small FMS knob again turns the
cursor off. The CLR key can also be used to cancel a selection or turn the cursor off.
The MFD/PFD, Audio Panel, MFD Control Unit and AFCS controls are
described in the Pilot's Guide.

4.2.2 Softkeys

Some configuration pages have commands or selections that are activated by the display softkeys
(Figure 4-2). 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.
