CRUISE
IPS switch (if Inlet Particle Separator installed) may be turned OFF.
NOTE
:
Decision to use the inlet particle separator scavenge air should be based on
atmospheric conditions, gross weight and height above terrain where operations
are to be conducted.
NACA doors (if installed) may be closed if blowing dust, sand, etc. is present in
the atmosphere.
IIDS menu/display mode selection:
The IIDS MENU and DISP keys may occasionally become non-responsive and/or
may register key inputs twice. This condition will clear itself after a brief interval.
Care should be taken when using the arrow keys (``

between data and message items. Pressing the
arrow keys too fast may result in scrolling past the desired menu or message
displayed. The arrow keys should be pressed only after the menu item or message
changes in the alphanumeric display.
If a garbled message appears while scrolling through a menu, scrolling past
that menu item and then returning to the desired menu item will correct the
display.
While switching between the display modes (display by exception or continuous
display modes), pilots are reminded to clear the alphaneumeric display prior
to switching display modes.
