2.3 MENU DYNAMICS
A menu selection will not be displayed if it is not available due to the con-
figuration of the aircraft. For example, if the instrument is not configured to
interface with a Goodrich WX-500 Stormscope®, the Lightning mode and
Clear Lightning Strikes menu items will not be shown. Figure 2-2 is on a
foldout page for reference as the section is being reviewed.
If a menu selection is not available due to current menu choices, it will be
displayed but it will be cyan (light blue) lettering with a blue background,
indicating that function is disabled. For example, if the selected display
mode is HSI mode, the range has no effect and will consequently be dis-
abled (e.g., RNG is shown in cyan). Once a change has been made which
allows a function to be available for the new setup, the menu items will be
enabled. Menu choices that are available will be displayed in white letter-
ing with a blue background.
Even though the lightning overlay is only allowed during the two map
modes, the lightning menu item will always be available if a Goodrich WX-
500 Stormscope® is interfaced to the KI 825. If the lightning menu item is
selected while the current mode is set to HSI, the unit will automatically
switch the mode to 360 Map.
(Software Version -2 Only) The Menu Button operation field will show
MENU OFF for all menu items, with two exceptions: The Memory menu
item, when a SAVE menu option is currently selected, in which case it will
show HOLD FOR SAVE; and the “Clear Lightning Strikes” item, in which
case it will show “Press to Clear”.
(Software Versions -3 and -4 Only) The MENU button operation field
appears above the MENU button when the menu is being displayed to
indicate the function of the button. It can show several different prompts
depending on the situation. In most instances it displays “MENU OFF” to
indicate that pressing the MENU button removes the menu from the dis-
play. The MENU button operation field will show “Press To Select” when it
is necessary to press the MENU button to complete a selection. This is
required when changing the navigation source or utilizing the LOAD mem-
ory function. The MENU button operation field will show “HOLD FOR
SAVE” when the SAVE memory function is being used. The MENU button
operation field will show “Press to Clear” when the “Clear Lightning
Strikes” menu item has been selected.
