SYSTEM STATUS PAGE
The System Status Page displays the status and software version numbers for all detected system LRUs.
Pertinent information on all system databases is also displayed. Active LRUs are indicated by green check marks
and failed LRUs are indicated by red ‘X’s. Failed LRUs should be noted and a service center informed.
Figure 1-34 Example System Status Page
The LRU, ARFRM, and DBASE Softkeys on the System Status Page select the list (LRU Info, Airframe,
or Database) through which the FMS Knob can be used to scroll if all the information cannot appear on the
screen.
1.8 DISPLAY bACkLIGHTING
The G1000 display and control backlighting can be adjusted either automatically or manually. Backlighting
intensity ranges from 0.22% to 100% on the PFDs and 0.80% to 100.00% on the MFD.
AUTOMATIC ADjUSTMENT
The existing instrument panel dimmer bus normally controls the PFD and MFD bezels, MFD Control Unit,
AFCS Control Unit and audio panel key annunciator lighting. When the dimmer bus is not used by the G1000
system, photocell technology automatically controls backlighting adjustments. Photocell calibration curves are
pre-configured to optimize display appearance through a broad range of cockpit lighting conditions.
