Introduction
INTRODUCTION
All of us at Honeywell congratulate you on choosing this product. You are now the owner of one of the most sophisticated yet simple-to-use multifunction displays available today. We understand you probably can’t wait to see it in action but before you try to use it please take the time to read through this manual and understand its many interesting and useful features. Time spent in familiarizing yourself with your new KMD 550/850 unit will be more than repaid by trouble-free operation later, and more importantly safe and accurate navigation.
We have made the operation of this unit as intuitive as possible through the use of Power Keys and on-screen help, thus reducing pilots’ dependence on the manual. You should very quickly find that handling it efficiently and expertly becomes second nature to you. Don’t be afraid to experiment. No matter which key you activate, your unit will not be damaged. If you do get into a mess, simply switch off and back on again to reset all functions. We must mention just one word of caution. Never remove the database card while the unit is switched on and never attempt to switch the unit on when there is no database card installed.
We thank you for your decision to purchase a KMD 550/850 and wish you many happy and safe hours flying.
Whenever you are using the unit for navigation in the air you should treat it as a supplemental display system. You should always carefully compare indications from your KMD 550/850 unit with the information available from all other navigation sources including GPS, NDBs, VORs, DMEs, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety, any discrepancies observed should be resolved immediately.
This equipment is not a replacement for your chart. It is intended as an aid to navigation only. The database within the equipment has been compiled from the latest official information available, and although every care has been taken in the compilation, the manufacturers will not be held responsible for any inaccuracy or omissions therein. NEVER
USE THE TERRAIN DISPLAYED ON THIS EQUIPMENT AS YOUR SOLE REFERENCE FOR TERRAIN AVOIDANCE.

General Information
GENERAL INFORMATION
This section of the manual provides an overview of the software architecture and display presentation of the KMD 550/850 Multifunction Display.
This manual also provides an explanation of each of the individual displays that the KMD 550/850 unit presents.
The operating system of the Bendix/King KMD 550/850 keeps to a minimum the number of key presses necessary to activate the various functions, especially those most frequently used in the air. The provision of a joystick makes it considerably easier to operate the unit and allows for fast and efficient access to most functions.

POWER KEYS
These five keys are used to manipulate the page being displayed. Their present functionality can be indicated by the use of Soft Labels on the left side of the key or Power Labels on the right side of the key.
POWER LABELS
When the Power Label is illuminated on the right side of the key, that key’s function is dedicated to the function described by the label and that function is active. The following is a list of the dedicated functions:
MODEPressing this key will sequence through all available modes associated with the displayed page.
RNG - Pressing this key will increase the range scale one level on the displayed page. Range scales on other pages will not be affected.
RNG - Pressing this key will decrease the range scale one level on the displayed page. Range scales on other pages will not be affected.
VIEWPressing this key will sequence through the available views associated with the displayed page.

General Information
OVLYPressing the Overlay Key allows data from more than one source to be displayed simultaneously on the display. Soft Labels will indicate which data sources are available for overlay.
SOFT LABELS
Soft Labels are located to the left of the Power Keys in the LCD area. The description indicated in the label describes the key’s present function related to the displayed page. Whenever a new function is selected, by pressing a key with a Soft Label, a new display is shown along with its new key labels. This capability of displaying Soft Labels that are only applicable to a particular screen is referred to as ‘Soft Keying’, and allows one key to perform multiple functions without the complications of multiple key presses on a conventional keypad.
JOYSTICK
This is a pointing device which moves a mouse-like pointer around the display. It is primarily used for pointing at items on the map for further information and for measuring range and bearing to specific points. When the WX Radar function is selected, the joystick controls antenna tilt angle and track. Data link weather also uses the joystick to perform product display selection. It is also used to modify configuration settings on the AUX setup pages.
CONTROL KNOB
The inner and outer Control Knobs, located in the lower right of the unit, have various functions as indicated by a soft label when active. For example, if the weather (WX) Function Select Key is pressed, the inner knob may control the gain on the weather radar. The outer knob will act as the radar function selector for ON, Standby (SBY) and Test (TST). Data link weather also uses the joystick to do product display selection.
FAULT INDICATOR
The Fault Indicator is located between the Range buttons. If this tiny “F” is illuminated, a system hardware problem is exists. This could be caused by the unit failing a self test or an improper installation configuration.
If the Fault Indicator appears, cycle the unit power. If the fault re-occurs, the unit needs to be taken to an authorized service center to correct the configuration or repair the unit.
