Startup
When the EFD1000/500 MFD initializes you are presented with the default PAGES
pre-configured with what we thought would be the most useful VIEWS. This section
will give you a quick overview of the default settings so that you can start flying with
the EFD1000/500 MFD right away. You will learn how to change the backlighting, the
Emergency Backup Battery (EBB) features (on the EFD1000 MFD only), how to manually
power the system off and on, and how to navigate PAGES, VIEWS, Data Link Weather
Products, and other screen elements.
When the EFD1000/500 MFD powers up the first screen you see is the Initializing Screen
which displays the system configuration and any status annunciations
(Figure 4-1)
.
After the Initializing Screen, the EFD1000/500 MFD presents the Jeppesen Database
Confirmation Screen, overlaid on the lower half of the EFD1000/500 MFD display.
The confirmation screen displays the validity dates of the currently loaded Jeppesen
Database and the terrain awareness message
(Figure 4-2)
.
Press either the Left or Right Knob to acknowledge and accept the information and
display the first PAGE of the EFD1000/500 MFD. The validity and expiration date of all
databases is displayed in the Main Menu, on the Database Menu page.
