A color key is displayed on the Nav Menu (or Map Menu if in External
GPS Mode). This is just one key press away from the main Map screen
so you can refer to it easily during flight.
By default, terrain data is displayed at all zoom levels. The display of ter-
rain data can however be switched on and off at different zoom levels if
desired. See the section covering the Map Setup screen for more
details.
WARNING
The colored terrain elevation shown on the KMD 150 is only
intended to aid visual navigation by providing a depiction of the ter-
rain that may be visible. It is not intended for terrain avoidance.
NEVER USE THE TERRAIN DISPLAYED ON THIS EQUIPMENT AS
YOUR SOLE REFERENCE FOR TERRAIN AVOIDANCE.
MEMORY LOCATIONS
In the function descriptions, three types of memory, RAM, NVM and
Memory Card are mentioned. You may find it useful to know where var-
ious types of information are stored in order to make best use of the
equipment. The RAM (Random Access Memory) is built into the unit
and is used to store all user-defined data such as waypoints and flight
plans. The RAM is maintained by battery power from an internal Lithium
cell, which should be replaced by your Honeywell dealer every three
years to prevent loss of user-defined data. The NVM (Non Volatile
Memory) is also built into the unit. It stores initialization data, serial
number, PIN number and performance log details. This memory is non-
volatile, which means it is retained even if the memory battery is
removed. If you choose to activate the PIN number security feature (sim-
ilar to that available on many car radios) the non-volatile nature of the
NVM ensures your PIN can not be tampered with or erased.
