meters (km) and kilometers/hour (k/h). Changing any of the units of
measure only affects the information displayed on the unit. It does not
affect any of the data output by the unit.
The brightness of the display is controlled by a photocell on the KLN
89(B) front panel. The brighter the light level, the brighter the display
will be. The minimum (nighttime) brightness is set at the factory to a
level that is appropriate for most installation. In some cases, however,
it may be desired to change the minimum brightness level (e.g. an
unusually dark cockpit environment). The SET 11 page controls the
minimum brightness.
To adjust the minimum display brightness:
1. Select the SET 11 page
(figure 3-25) and turn on the cur-
sor (
B
). The display brightness
has a range of zero (0) to 9 with
zero being the dimmest, 9 being
the brightest, and 4 being the
normal default level.
2. Turn the right inner knob to select
the desired brightness
(figure 3-26). To test the bright-
ness level, you will probably want
to be in a dark-cockpit condition.
If desired, you can also test it out by placing your finger over the
photocell in the upper left corner of the KLN 89(B)
3. Turn off the cursor (
B
).
The top left corner of the screen
always displays distance to the active
waypoint, in nice large numbers
(figure 3-27). The identifier of the
active waypoint is usually displayed
on the second line. This area of the display will be particularly useful
to you if you are shooting non-precision approaches using the KLN
89B, since it lets you know where you’re going and how far until you
get there.
NOTE: In cases when the active
waypoint identifier is displayed on the
right side of the page divider, line 2
will display the current groundspeed
(figure 3-28).
