ON/START button - Switching the Instrument ON and OFF
The
ON/START
button is multifunctional. If the instrument is not already powered up, a short press on the
ON/START
button will switch the instrument
ON.
To switch the instrument
OFF
, press the
ESC/OFF
button for a
few seconds and the instrument will switch off. If an attempt is made to switch the instrument off during flight, the
instrument requires confirmation from the pilot,
so the LX 7007 PRO IGC cannot be switched off by mistake.
On
powering the unit, the first screen shows the firmware version, database version, serial number of the unit, and total
memory in hours available for IGC flight records. After a few seconds, a second screen shows details of the glider and
pilot. The unit is equipped with a facility of storing up to 30 pilot names. If no names are stored, the unit shows the
pilot name as UNKNOWN. By rotating the
UP/DOWN
selector, the display scrolls through the programmed pilots.
Once the correct pilot is selected, pressing the
ENTER
button selects the airfield elevation screen and the current
elevation should be entered, again using the
UP/DOWN
selector and the
ENTER
button. Similarly, the current QNH
should also be entered. The airfield
elevation
input is
mandatory
while the
QNH
input
optional
(See Para 3.1.1.1)
During flight the same button is used to
start the task, to see more characters of airport names and, in the edit
menu, to go back one step
if an error has been made (see paragraph APT).

important flight parameter, altitude will remain, which means that the final glide is not interupted.
