Electronics International MVP-50P - Manual (Page 81)

A6.0 Appendix:
Setting Up the Gear Warning Feature
The MVP can provide a gear up voice warning if the following functions are monitored: Gear Position, Manifold
Pressure and Airspeed. As you enter the pattern and reduce Manifold Pressure, the aircraft’s Airspeed will start
dropping. If the Manifold Pressure and Airspeed drops below a programmed level (set for your aircraft) and the
Landing Gear is not down and locked, you will get a voice warning to check your landing gear.
This method allows you to perform low power fast descents and high power low speed climbs without annoying
warnings. If you have a retractable gear aircraft, this feature is invaluable and sooner or later will pay for the MVP
many times over.
1. Navigate to the “Aircraft Number, Gear Warning and TAS Setup” screen. Select an airspeed that is
above your approach speed but below slow cruise.
2. Select a Manifold Pressure that is above that used on final approach but below slow cruise.
A voice warning is activated on the following logic:
(Any Gear is up -OR- the Unsafe Indicator is on) -AND- Airspeed is less than a set value -AND- Manifold
Pressure is less than a set value.
