the display to the next higher page number or to page 1 if presently on the last page.
30.
PREV
Key - when multiple-page displays are indicated in the page title line, pressing the PREV key backs up
the display to the previous page or to the last page if presently on page 1.
31.
MENU
Key - Provides access to the MCDU MENU 1/2 page that allows access to other subsystems
connected to the MCDU (e.g. CMU, IFDMU, SATCOM, onside and cross-side FMS).
32.
MENU
Annunciator - Illuminates when a sub-system, other than the one the MCDU is currently connected to,
is requesting the crew attention.
For example, if any of the installed subsystems that uses the ARINC 739 MCDU as control head (e.g. CMU,
IFDMU, SATCOM) is requesting crew attention while the MCDU is connected to the FMS, the MENU light will
be turned on. Converselly, if the MCDU is connected to any of the above mentioned sub-systems and the
FMS is requesting attention, the MENU annunciator will also be turned on.
The FMS requests attention (e.g. MENU light on) when the MCDU is logged on a subsystem different from
the FMS and the FMS generated a new alert or maintenance message.

SQK_IDT
key (VAR 001/101/301/501) - Provides a quick access function to Squawk ident of the active
ATC transponder.
MARK
Key (all variations except 290) - when pressed creates a Mark On Top waypoint with the CMA-9000
FMS present position. It provides access to the PREDEF WPT 2/2 page where this waypoint is stored (if CFG
KEY 2 is configured to MARK).
VNAV
(VAR 040, 050, 060, 070, 460, 470) - provides access to the vertical navigation functions.
HOLD
Key (VAR 290) - if no holding pattern exists in the flight plan, brings LEGS page in view with “/H” in the
scratchpad for line selection of the desired holding fix waypoint. If a holding pattern already exists in the flight
plan, accesses the HOLD page for the definition of holding pattern parameters at the designated waypoint or
present position.
NOTE: Items 16 to 19 and 20 to 23 may be configured to function as a NEXT key allowing the crew to scroll
through the similar pages. For example, if this configuration option is selected, pressing PROG twice will
provide access to the second PROGRESS page (e.g. PROGRESS 2/X page).
