SYSTEM OVERVIEW
1.6 DISPLAY BACKLIGHTING
The dimming bus is the primary source for backlighting adjustments of the PFD and MFD displays, bezel, Audio
Panel keys, AFCS Control Unit keys, and PFD/MFD Control Unit keys. The automatic backlighting adjustment
for the AFCS Control Unit annunciators and PFD/MFD Control Unit annunciators uses photocell technology to
automatically adjust for ambient lighting conditions. Photocell calibration curves are pre-configured to optimize
display appearance through a broad range of cockpit lighting conditions. Manual backlighting adjustment can
be accomplished using the existing instrument panel dimming bus or the following procedures. In normal
operating mode, backlighting can only be adjusted from the PFD. In Reversionary Mode, it can be adjusted from
the remaining display.
