Restoring Factory Settings

When making changes to any Setup Page option, a

‘Restore Defaults?’ menu selection allows the pilot to
restore the original factory settings (for the selected option
only). For example, with the CDI/Alarms Page displayed,
the ‘Restore Defaults?’ option restores all airspace alarms
and CDI settings to the original factory values.

Restoring a Setup Page option to the
original factory settings:

1) Select the desired menu option from the

Setup Page, using the steps described at the
beginning of this section.

2) Press the MENU Key to display the CDI/Alarms

Page Menu (Figure 8-44).
