Fuel On Board and Checklists
The Instrument Panel Self-Test Page includes selec-
tions to set fuel on board (FOB) to full capacity and
access the Checklists Page. This allows you to quickly
set fuel to full limits and display any checklists you’ve
entered, such as start up or takeoff checklists.
To set fuel on board to full (if not provided by
sensor):
1. Turn the
large right
knob to highlight “Set
Full Fuel?”.
Select “Set Full Fuel?” to set fuel on board
(FOB) to full capacity.
2. Press ENT and verify that fuel on board (FOB)
now matches the fuel capacity (CAP) figure.
Fuel on board is now reduced, over time, based
on the fuel flow (FF) figure.
To view the checklists page:
1. Turn the
large right
knob to highlight “Go To
Checklists?” and press
ENT
.
2. Turn the
large right
knob to select the desired
checklist, then follow the steps in Section 9 Aux
Pages - Utility Page (Checklists) to execute each
step in the selected checklist.
Select “Go To Checklists?” to display the
Checklist Page and any available checklists. A
500W-series unit can hold up to nine check-
lists with up to 30 entries in each checklist.
3. Once you complete the desired checklist(s),
press the small right knob to return to the
Checklists Page. Press the
small right
knob
again to return to normal operation on the
Satellite Status or Map pages.
Once you’ve verified instrument operation with
the Instrument Panel Self-Test Page displayed, turn
the large right knob to highlight “OK?” and press
the ENT key.
The Satellite Status Page appears as the 500W-
series unit begins to collect satellite information. An
“Acquiring” status is displayed on the Satellite Status
Page and the signal strength of any satellites received
appears as “bar graph” readings. This is a good indica-
tion that you are receiving signals and that a position
fix is determined. Following the first-time use of your
500W-series unit, the time required for a position fix
varies — usually within two minutes.
