Primary Display System - Display Switching Panels
Purpose

Use the display switching panels to select alternate positions for


display formats.
Operation

The NORM position has two selections. The MFD position


causes the inboard DU to respond to the selections of the
display select panel (DSP). The NAV position forces the inboard
DU to show the ND format. In the NAV position, the inboard DU
does not respond to DSP inputs.
The PFD position causes the inboard DU to show the PFD
format.
The EICAS position causes the inboard DU to show the EICAS
display format.
The INBD DSPL switch has no effect on the inboard display
unit(s) (DU) when the associated outboard DU finds a failure
and the PFD switches automatically to the inboard DU. You
cannot use the display selector for manual display selection.
Heading Reference Switch

The heading reference switch sets the reference for the PFD
and ND formats. The NORM position sets the reference to
magnetic heading and turns the NORM light on. The TRUE
position sets the reference to true heading and turns the TRUE
light on.
The switch has a plastic guard.

And Status Cue
Status Cue

A STATUS cue shows on the EICAS display any time a new


status message becomes current and the status page format
does not show. The STATUS cue is cyan.
There is a fifteen second time delay before the STATUS cue
shows. This prevents transient messages.
The STATUS cue goes away when one of these occurs:
• The status page format shows
• The condition that causes the status message goes
away.
Status Cue Inhibit

A status cue inhibit does not let the STATUS cue show. During
takeoff, the inhibit starts when both of these occur:
• The airplane is on the ground
• First engine start.
During landing, the inhibit starts when the airplane descends
through 800 feet of altitude.
The inhibit stops 30 minutes after liftoff.
After landing, the inhibit stops when the airplane ground speed
is less than 75 knots.
If a STATUS cue shows before the start of the inhibit, it
continues to show.
If a status message becomes active during the inhibit and is still
active when the inhibit ends, the STATUS cue shows.

This gives you quick access to frequently used menu selections.
You can select and see maintenance pages any time the
airplane is on the ground or any time the airplane is above ten

The information shows in real time or as a snapshot (manual
event or auto event). Snapshots occur automatically when
individual systems exceed established parameters. The
operator can print or downlink the maintenance pages to ground
stations.
You can also take a manual snapshot of all the maintenance
pages or of individual maintenance pages.
Maintenance Page Controls

The MAINT INFO prompt on the left, center, or right CDU gives
access to the maintenance pages on the multifunction display
(MFD). You use the display select panel and the display
switching panels to show the maintenance page display
