communicating properly.
3.3.2.4.1
GNS 480 Message Audio
The GNS 480 can annunciate audio messages through an audio panel. This check verifies that the audio
connection from the GNS 480 to the audio panel is functional. Prior to proceeding with this check, ensure

3.3.2.4.2
Baro Correction Potentiometer
The GNS 480 can receive baro correction from an external potentiometer. This check verifies that the
GNS 480 is receiving baro correction data from the altimeter. Ensure that the GNS 480 is turned on. If the
following steps do not perform correctly, check the electrical connections and configuration setup.
1.
Check the baro correction using the Configuration page. This page is accessed by pressing the
FN
key twice, causing the
SYS
smart key to be displayed. The
SYS
smart key is then pressed, followed
by the
CNFG
smart key, if necessary. The baro correction is the first item on the list (Baro Correct.).
2.
Verify that the baro correction decodes properly from 28.10 to 31.00 "Hg (952 to 1050 mB). The
value displayed on the GNS 480 should be within
±
0.03 "Hg (±1 mB) of the altimeter setting.
