Restoring Factory Settings

When making changes to any Setup Page option, a ‘Restore Defaults?’ menu selection allows the pilot to restore the original factory settings (for the selected option only). For example, with the CDI/Alarms Page displayed, the ‘Restore Defaults?’ option restores all airspace alarms and CDI settings to the original factory values.

Restoring a Setup Page option to the origi- nal factory settings:

1)Select the desired menu option from the Setup Page, using the steps described at the beginning of this section.

2)Press the MENU Key to display the Date/Time Page Menu (Figure 10-45).
