8. Audio Panel
Use this slide to detail the comm panel. Go through all the buttons applicable to CAP. Detail how to listen and talk on Comm 3, how to monitor comm1 and comm2. Explain the telephone and the AUX button.

10. FMS Knob and Enter Key FMS Knob Enter Key Twist Outer knob
“Do something big”
Twist Inner knob
“Do something small”
Push Knob
Changes functionality of knob twisting (cursor on/off)
Enter Key
“Okay”
I like to call the FMS Knob the “God Knob”. Push it when you’re saying “uhhhhh….”. It’s a cross between a knob and a button – a knutton.
Interesting sidebar:
Presentation slide 10 of 40. Should be less than one hour so far.

11. “Soft” Keys Soft keys are labeled differently on various screens
Pre-programmed keys for quick activation
It’s like they ran out of hard buttons, so they used soft ones instead. Usually for features you didn’t even know existed.
