2.7 Cooling Air
The GDL 5X/5XR does not have provisions for attaching cooling air, however the thermal characteristics
of the installation should always be assessed. An undesirable thermal condition could be created due to the
unit's own internal power dissipation combined with restricted ventilation, or due to heat generated by
adjacent equipment. Limiting thermal build up, by means of fan or natural convection is always a good
practice and recommended to increase the product lifespan.
2.8 Configuration, and Adjustment Options
The GDL 5X/5XR has several configuration/adjustment options. More information about these
configuration items can be found in the connected display pilot’s guide. The configuration/adjustments are
as follows:
•
Cabin Pressure Setting
◦
Pressurized Cabin or Unpressurized Cabin
•
Attitude Sensor Reset
◦
Use this to zero the pitch/roll to the current aircraft attitude.
•
Compatibility Mode

•
Auto Reconnect Settings for paired wireless devices
The GDL 5X/5XR products can simultaneously support up to: 2 wireless display devices, 1 wireless audio
device, 2 wired display devices, and 1 wired audio device.
NOTE

disable any devices that are not intended to be used.
