The barometric pressure setting is displayed below the Altimeter and is marked with BARO. The
pilot defined units for BARO can be selected in the setup page (setup – system section – units
– Pressure);
•inches of mercury (inhg)
•hectopascals (hPa)
•millibars (mbar)
Selecting the altimeter barometric pressure When on the PFD page, turn the right-hand push-
rotary knob Selection Knob to change the barometric pressure. Turn it clockwise to set higher
barometric pressure or counter clockwise to set lower barometric pressure.

The Altitude Alerting function provides the pilot with a visual alert when approaching the Se-
lected Altitude. Whenever the Selected Altitude is changed, the Altitude Alerter is reset. The
following will occur when approaching the Selected Altitude:
•Passing within 1,000 feet of the Selected Altitude, the Selected Altitude (shown above the
Altimeter) flashes for 5 seconds
•When the aircraft passes within 200 feet of the Selected Altitude, the Selected Altitude
flashes for 5 seconds to indicate the aircraft is approaching the selected altitude.
