S10 Operation from the Manual
For full detail, refer to the S10 Manual.
4.1 Push Button – Rotary Switches
The two Rotary switches also have a push button function. The LXNAV S8x/S10x detects short or
long presses of the push button. A short press means just a click, a long press means pushing the
button for more than one second.
4.1.1 Power Button
The system is powered up by pressing any of the push buttons or a press of either of the rotary
knobs. A long press of the upper rotary knob will turn the S10 off. Use this instead of the avionics
master switch.
4.2 Rotary Switches
The upper rotary knob is designed for direct volume control. A short-press on the upper rotary knob
will produce an option to select between options and adjust volumes for the Vario, Speech and
FLARM beep.
A long-press on the upper rotary knob will shut down the system cleanly.
