When Barometric Correction is synchronized, any changes to the Barometric Setting on either GDU will change it on both GDUs. Crossfill synchronization for CDI and Baro Corrections are selected in Aux mode. 1) While viewing the first page of the AUX page group, press the small MFD knob and turn the large MFD knob to highlight “CDI” or “BARO” in the “Synchronization” box in both units. Figure 3-71 Dual Unit Synchronization 2) Turn the small MFD knob to select “ON” or “OFF.” 3) Press ENT. Dual GDU 620 units when connected in the aircraft may be set up to communicate and share information by “Crossfilling” or synchronizing information between the two units. The following information is always synchronized between both GDU 620 units: • Selected Altitude • Selected Heading • Selected Course • Selected Vertical Speed • Airspeed Bug Values • Airspeed Color Band Values • System Pressure Units • System Temperature Units

D Foreword Sec 1 System Sec 2 PFD Sec 3 MFD Sec 4 Hazard Avoidance Sec 5 Additional Features Sec 6 Annun. & Alerts Sec 7 Symbols Sec 8 Glossary Appendix A Appendix B Index The following information can be synchronized between GDU 620s, or changed independently, depending on the Crossfill Synchronization Settings: • Barometric Correction (default ON) • Selected CDI (default OFF)When Barometric Correction is synchronized, any changes to the Barometric Setting on either GDU will change it on both GDUs. When the CDI is synchronized, any changes to the selected CDI on either GDU will change it on both GDUs. Either pilot can change the OBS course on either GNS. If the pilot selects GPS1 on the CDI and GNS1 is in OBS mode, any course changes will move the OBS on GNS1, GDU1, and GDU2 (if the copilot has GPS1 displayed on the CDI). Similarly, if the pilot selects GPS2 on the CDI and GNS2 is in OBS mode, any course changes will move the OBS on GNS2, GDU1, and GDU2 (if the copilot has GPS2 displayed on the CDI). AHRS 1 and ADC 1 will only be displayed on GDU1. AHRS2 and ADC2 will only be displayed on GDU2. The CDI soft key toggles between selection of GPS or VOR/LOC as the active navigation source. In a single GDU 620 system, the GDU CDI soft key will change the source in the connected navigator and making a source change in the navigator will be reflected in the GDU 620. In a dual GDU 620 system, the CDI keys in the navigator are disabled.
