COMPASS PRESENTATION FORMAT
Hot Key 3 toggles the compass between a 360 rose display and a 100 deg ARC display.
BASEMAP AND DECLUTTER LEVEL
Hot Key 4 is used to enable the basemap and control the amount of basemap symbology that is
presented to the pilot. Each successive push of the MAP hot key will change the basemap declutter
level in a round-robin sequence. Available selections are FP ONLY, and OFF.
The FP ONLY selection displays just the flight plan legs and waypoints associated with the GPS
flight plan, and no other basemap features.
OFF removes all basemap and flight plan symbology.
GPS STEERING
Hot Key 5 enables/disables the GPS Steering.

BACK LIGHT CONTROL
The EFD1000 PILOT PFD includes an adjustable LCD backlight that provides both automatic and
manual brightness adjustments over a wide dimmable range. A single bezel-mounted photocell
measures the ambient light, allowing an automatic dimming mode to be selected by the pilot.
Manual dimming control is enabled by the pilot to override the photocell input and adjust the display
to any desired intensity level (except off).
In either mode, the bezel-key backlighting is maintained at a fixed brightness level.
To adjust backlight intensity, press the MENU button and then press the left control knob to toggle
between auto (BRT AUTO) and manual brightness (BRT ADJUST) control.
To manually adjust the brightness, with BRT ADJUST displayed above the left knob rotate the knob
until the desired brightness level is set. Valid brightness settings are 1 to 100.
On power up, the display defaults to AUTO brightness control.
When operating on the internal battery, backlight intensity setting is capped at a value of 70 for both
manual and automatic operation.
Under extreme temperature conditions, such as may be encountered during ground operations on
extremely hot days, the system backlight will automatically dim to an intensity of 30 whenever
internal sensors determine that the system operating temperature has exceeded 70ºC. Should this
occur the pilot should take steps to reduce the cockpit ambient temperature.
