Internal battery tests
All EFD1000 E5 systems have an internal battery that must be tested.
For best results, read these instructions before executing the test.
1)
Provide external power to the EFD1000 E5.
2)
Select the battery menu by pressing the MENU key and rotating the right knob to the
second to the last page. This is the page that shows the battery and external power
conditions. Verify that the external power voltage (the power to the EFD) is at the
appropriate level for the aircraft, and the last line on the Menu page shows BATT:
CHARGING.
3)
With the EFD Menu displayed, press the line select key on the EFD menu next to
“BATTERY”. A timer will count down, after which the battery percentage remaining
will be displayed. Power for the EFD will transition from external power to EFD
battery power.
4)
NOTE: The external power to the EFD must continue to be supplied.
5)
Verify that the battery percentage remaining is at least 80%. See the note below.
6)
This completes the test.
NOTE: If the battery remaining percentage is below 80%, then charge the internal battery
to 80% or above by leaving the EFD powered on from external power using a suitable
Ground Power Unit.

TAPES Configuration Check
Verify the tapes are “LOCKED” or “UNLOCKED” as required.
If TAPES are locked on (LOCK ON) - IAS and Altitude tapes should be visible and when
pressing the MENU key the TPS line select key should be locked to ENABLE.
If TAPES are locked off (LOCK OFF) – IAS and Altitude tapes should not be displayed
on EFD and when pressing the MENU key the TPS line select key should be locked to
DISABLE.
If TAPES are UNLOCKED – then pressing the MENU key and then the TPS line select
key will allow setting to be changed from ENABLE to DISABLE.
