SYSTEM OVERVIEW
1.6 ACCESSING G900X FUNCTIONALITY
MENUS
The G900X has a dedicated
MENU
Key that when pressed displays a context-sensitive list of options. This
options list allows the user to access additional features or make settings changes which specifically relate to
the currently displayed window/page. There is no all-encompassing menu. Some menus provide access to
additional submenus that are used to view, edit, select, and review options. Menus display ‘NO OPTIONS’
when there are no options for the window/page selected. The main controls used in association with all
window/page group operations are described in Section 1.5, G900X Controls.
Navigating a menu:
1)
Press the
MENU
Key to display the menu.
2)
Turn the
FMS
Knob to scroll through a list of available options (a scroll bar always appears to the right of the
window/box when the option list is longer than the window/box).
3)
Press the
ENT
Key to select the desired option.
4)
Press the
CLR
Key or
FMS
Knob to remove the menu and cancel the operation.

DATA ENTRY
Two methods exist for directly entering alphanumeric data (e.g., Flight ID, waypoint identifiers, barometric
minimum descent altitude) into the G900X: using the using the alphanumeric keypad (on the MFD/PFD
Control Unit) or the
FMS
Knob corresponding to the display (PFD, MFD, or MFD/PFD Control Unit).
In some instances, such as when entering an identifier, the G900X tries to predict the desired identifier based
on the characters being entered. In this case, if the desired identifier appears, use the
ENT
Key to confirm the
entry without entering the rest of the identifier manually. This can save the pilot from entering all the characters
of the identifier.
