Display test
Adisplaytest feature includedin ST3000softwarechecksthat the display
assemblyhas beenre-fitted correctly.Displaytest is switchedon by
momentarily pressing the-1° and+10° keystogether
Thedisplayscrolls allfourcharactersthrough from0to 9andthen displays

Notes: A. Keypads come bonded to facia on later units. B. Ensure that the fluxgate loom is formed around the outside of the rear case pillar. Failure to do so may result in the gimbal action being impaired and the autopilot performance degraded. C. Early production units have a spacer (29) which is effectively replaced by using 4 wedges (27) on later units.
