be switched off. If selected OFF, the CDI is no longer shown while you
are in Map Mode.
CDI ALARM: When selected ON this produces an audible alarm to tell
you when full-scale deflection of the CDI has been reached. If you
choose to set this to OFF, you disable this alarm.
WPT ALERT: You can use this feature to set the distance away from a
flight plan turning point, or final destination, at which you wish the audio
and visual arrival alarm to be activated. This value is always in nautical
miles.
AUTO LEG SELECT: If you select this ON, the unit will automatically
place the cursor on the closest leg when Screen 12, Flight Plan
Program/Edit Screen, is accessed to select the Flight Plan. Although the
nearest leg to your present position is highlighted, an alternative leg may
be selected by using the joystick. If AUTO LEG SELECT is switched
OFF the cursor will simply be positioned over the first leg in the Flight
Plan whenever Screen 12 is selected.
AUTO NEXT LEG: If you select this option ON then, as each waypoint
in the Flight Plan is passed, the next leg will be automatically selected.
You thus do not need to press Key 1 (the NEXT LEG Key) as this func-
tion produces the same effect automatically. If you select AUTO NEXT
LEG to OFF, you will then need to activate the next leg in the Flight Plan
manually by pressing Key 1 (the NEXT LEG Key) at the end of each leg,
otherwise your unit will continue to give you distance and bearing infor-
mation to your previous waypoint.
TURN ANTICIPATION: Turn Anticipation provides navigation along a
curved path segment to ensure a smooth transition between two adja-
cent legs in the flight plan. If turned ON, Auto Next Leg will also auto-
matically turn on. Auto Next Leg is an essential part of turn anticipation.
Please refer to Arrival at an Enroute Waypoint in the Map Mode with
NAV Information Screens Section of this manual for more details.
FLIGHT PLAN DISPLAY: Allows all legs in the active Flight Plan to be
displayed or just the active Flight Plan leg to be displayed when flying a
Flight Plan.
INTERNAL (WPT and CDI) ALARM: This gives you the choice between
having these internal alarms functioning or inactive.
EXTERNAL (WPT and CDI) ALARM: This gives you the choice to
switch ON or OFF the output from the unit, which can drive an external
alarm device.
