How to Reboot the Display
Press and hold buttons 1, 2 and 5 simultaneously to instantly reboot the system. This may be
helpful if you need to cycle power after changing certain settings and for general
troubleshooting.
How to Manually Adjust the Screen Brightness (Dim)
A SkyView display’s backlighting (brightness) is primarily controlled by its ambient light sensor.
If you have more than one SkyView display, each display’s ambient light sensor is incorporated.
You can adjust the brightness / dimming to your preference by SCREEN > DIM to access the DIM
Menu. To decrease or increase the backlight brightness press DEC- or INC+, respectively or
simply rotate the knob labeled DIM – clockwise to brighten, counter-clockwise to dim. To set
the backlight brightness to 100%, press FULL. SkyView will not allow you to dim the display(s) to
a level that would cause it to be illegible for the ambient lighting conditions.
Reference the Display Setup Section of this guide for instructions on specifying the display’s
backlight brightness control method.
How to Enter the Joystick / Knob Function Menu
The Joystick / Knob Function menus are used to specify which bug that knob or joystick adjusts
if rotated. For example, knob or joystick 1 could be set to adjust the Heading bug and knob or
joystick 2 could be set to adjust the Altitude bug.
If you have a SkyView Classic or SkyView SE display, move the joystick up, down, left, or right to
enter its Function Menu.
If you have a SkyView HDX display, push the knob (pushbutton) to enter its Function Menu.
Figure 16 illustrates the Joystick / Knob menu.
