Up to 9 custom checklists can be created and stored in the IFD via the “Checklist” LSK of the UTIL tab, each with up 30 steps and each step can be up to 30 characters long.

Creating/Editing a Checklist

From the “Checklist” LSK, put the system into checklist edit mode by highlighting the “Edit” box in the top right corner of the page by either touching it, or using the bottom right IFD knob to highlight the box. The edit box will be displayed with a blue background when it is in edit mode.

The first step is to name the checklist. When the system is put into checklist edit mode, the cursor will jump down to the checklist directory list and highlight the next available line with a light blue wraparound cursor.  Touch the row in the directory list or push the bottom right IFD knob to generate a keypad for checklist naming.

When done naming the new checklist, press the “Enter” button on the keypad or push the right IFD knob.

Editing a Checklist

To then create the checklist content, select the checklist title from the directory list that is to be created.  If the “Edit” box is not already displayed with a blue background, first put the system back into checklist edit mode by touching the “Edit” box again or using the bottom right IFD knob to select it and then push the knob.  This will produce an empty grey checklist step item.

Touch or use the bottom right IFD knob to select the step to be created or edited and this will put a bright blue outline around the step.  Press the now highlighted row a 2^nd time or push in the bottom right IFD knob to generate a keypad.  Type the desired text (Note: there is no ability to manually generate upper case characters) and then press the “Enter” button to accept.  This will generate another empty grey checklist step item below and repeat the process as required.  When done creating all the desired checklist steps, press the “Edit” button in the top right corner again to exit edit mode.

To edit an existing checklist, touch or use the bottom right IFD knob to select the “Edit” button putting the system in edit mode. This automatically creates a new step at the end of the checklist – if that’s what you want, then just start typing on the keyboard. If instead, an existing step is to be edited, then select the checklist step to be edited by touching it or using the outer ring of the IFD knob.  Touch the step a second time or push the IFD knob to generate a keyboard, press the CLR button (keyboard or bezel) as required to clear characters and then re-type as required.  To insert a missing/extra step, type the step as desired as the last step of an existing checklist and then twist the inner ring of the bottom right IFD knob to insert the step in the desired location.  When done with editing the existing checklist, touch/select the “Edit” button again to get out of edit mode.

Press the “CLR” button on the bezel to return to the checklist directory.

Selecting a Checklist

From the checklist directory, highlight the desired checklist by either touching it or using the bottom right IFD knob to highlight and then either touch the checklist title a 2^nd time to select it or push in the IFD knob to select it.

The selected checklist will then be displayed with the checklist title along the top strip.

Using a Checklist

When first entering a checklist, the first step will be highlighted by a bright blue wrap-around highlight.  Either touching a highlighted step or pushing in the IFD knob will toggle that step to bright green and a green checkmark along the right edge indicating that checklist step has been accomplished.

Until all steps have been designated as accomplished, the bottom left edge of the checklist box will display “Checklist Not Completed”.  As soon as all steps have been designated as accomplished, that text strip along the bottom edge will change to “Checklist Complete”.

Completed Checklist

If a step has been inadvertently checked off as accomplished, it can be changed back to unaccomplished by selecting the step with touch or the bottom right IFD knob and then touching it a 2^nd time to unselect it or push the IFD knob.   This will also toggle the “Checklist Complete” text back to “Checklist Not Completed”.
