CONTROLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE MFD

The controls for the MFD (GDU 1500) are located on both the MFD bezel and the MFD Control Unit (GCU
475). The bottom portion of the MFD bezel features 12 softkeys that are designed to perform various functions
depending upon the specific page being displayed. These softkeys are discussed throughout the Pilot' s Guide
documentation.
The following list provides an overview of the controls located on the MFD Control Unit (see Figure 1-3):

the large knob moves the cursor on the page, while the small knob selects individual characters for the
