This manual reflects the software capabilities in version
3.0 software.
We have attempted to take care and develop manuals
which provide in-depth information. Where possible, we
have attempted not only to describe what you see on
the screen, but how to understand and use it as well.
Obviously, we can’t teach you how to navigate, but we
can help make your work more thorough and enjoyable.
Throughout the manual, you will find helpful hints about
the interaction of various functions. In a piece of equip-
ment that has the many capabilities of this receiver, im-
portant details can sometimes become obscured in one
or two lines of text. In our effort to ensure you get the
most out of this documentation, and to protect against
important details becoming lost, don’t be surprised if you
see the same or similar information more than once.
This manual is organized by describing first the MX500
model covered in this book. Then the special front panel
features including the traffic light indicator and USB
connector. The sections that follow detail each primary
function as it is presented on the front panel (i.e. NAV,
RTE, WPT, PLOT, ...CFG). The appedixes describe impor-
tant details about special functions and installation of the
MX500.
We hope you find the manual enjoyable and informa-
tive reading. As always, we welcome your comments on
improving our products or manuals. We wouldn’t mind
if you wrote to tell us that we did the job right the first
time either. You can find a Reader Comment Card at the
back of the manual.
