Display Unit
The display unit is the main interface between the flight crew and the EFB and its
applications. The display unit incorporates a touch screen and 30 keys located
around the screen. There are 16 vertically located line select keys 8 on both sides,
and 14 horizontally located bezel keys 8 across the top and 6 across the bottom.
These keys allow the user to perform the following functions:
• control screen power and brightness
• access the Main Menu page or exit the transfer mode
• return to the previous level or view
• page up or page down
• activate the highlighted soft key
• line select a soft key on the display
• zoom in and zoom out
• move the displayed item left, right, up, or down
The touch screen allows the user to activate various applications, functions, or
menus by touching the area defined as a soft key. Soft keys are explained later in
this chapter.
Display Description
The top of the display is reserved for the header which displays the title and fault
information. The title may use two lines with the top line providing the name of
the application, and the second line listing the name of the page being viewed.
The main body of the display area is everything below the header. There is no
footer or bottom display area.
Certain EFB screen areas are reserved for system messages. For example,
messages displayed in the top left corner of the screen indicate that a fault
occurred or an application needs attention. For most system messages the
appropriate response is to contact maintenance personnel. Messages and their
descriptions are listed in the EFB Messages Table found later in this chapter.
Although each application has a unique function on the EFB, they all conform to
standard interface display guidelines. These standards include:
• gray soft keys indicating that a function is available for use
• gray soft keys highlighted with a magenta box indicate the function is
ready for selection
• cyan outlined soft keys with cyan text indicating that an application or
function is currently unavailable
