IFD400 Series Pilot Guide
System Overview 1-37
At that point, the IFD will go through the same reconnection
process as it does upon power up.
Bluetooth Connection
The IFD is capable of taking input from a paired Bluetooth
keyboard. It is intended to be used in lieu of, or in conjunction
with, the IFD touchscreen keyboard. Anywhere and anytime the
IFD touchscreen keyboard is used to enter data (e.g. waypoint
names, building flight plans, entering frequencies†, etc), the
paired external keyboard can be used instead.
NOTE
Dual IFD Installations Should Only Pair 1 IFD
To avoid issues arising from a keyboard only being
able to pair with one device at a time, dual IFD
installations should turn off Bluetooth in the Setup
page on one IFD.
See page 6-69 for Bluetooth keyboard pairing procedures.
All labeled keys are fully functional. The light bulb key turns on
backlighting for the keyboard. The vertical two-headed arrow key
is primary/standby swap †. The Avidyne logo key is a space bar.
The up/down arrow keys can be used for page navigation in the
same way the bottom right inner and outer knobs on the IFD can
navigate through page fields. Repeated presses of the FMS,
MAP, and AUX keys will cause the next tab on the page to be
displayed.
