When the avionics master switch is selected off, the GPS will automatically go into a timed
shutdown mode. The pilot should use the touch screen icon to shut down the unit.
The power switch is located on the top right corner of the GPS unit.
This switch should NOT normally be used to activate or shut down
the GPS. However, if the GPS does not turn on when the avionics
master switch is selected on, activation of the power switch may
correct the problem.
