4.7 CUSTOM SCREEN SETUP

This screen is designed to provide a message of your
choosing at power up. There are two lines of 16
characters each available for custom programming.
Typically, most EZ Pilot customers place their name

on the top line of the display and the aircraft model and tail number on the second line. This
display can be changed at any time to any configuration desired.

When the display is first selected there will be a flashing cursor at the first character position. The
front panel switches function as follows:

LEFT / RIGHT switch Selects the displayed character from a set of available characters.

DISPLAY switch

Selects the cursor position. The cursor will wrap around from the last
character position on line 2 to the first character position on line 1.

NOTE –

The characters are written to non-volatile memory as each character is
changed. If you accidentally sequence out of this screen (or turn off
power) whatever information that was present on the screen at that time
will be retained in memory.

Power Up and Initial Settings

On power up the EZ Pilot will display the logo screen. Note that the TRK LED is illuminated and
the SERVO power is off (SERVO LED is not illuminated). The aircraft roll control (ailerons) should
be free and clear indicating the servo is disconnected from the control system.

Note:

If the adjustment of servo rotation direction and servo neutral (section 7.6)

has not yet been accomplished, it must be done now, before flight.
