4)Turn the small FMS Knob to choose between Day, Auto, and Night Options.
5)If Auto Mode is selected, turn the large FMS Knob to select the percentage field. Use the small FMS Knob to change the percentage value. The percentage value is the day/night crossover point based on the percentage of backlighting intensity. For example, if the value is set to 15%, the day/ night display changes when the display backlight reaches 15% of full brightness.
The display must be changed in order for the new setting to become active. This may be accomplished by selecting another page or changing the display range.
6)Press the FMS Knob when finished to remove the Chart Setup Menu.
11.4 FliteCharts
The optional FliteCharts feature resembles the paper version of National Aeronautical Charting Office (NACO) terminal procedures charts. The charts are displayed with high-resolution and in color for applicable charts. FliteCharts database subscription is available from Garmin.

Nearest Airports Page, or Flight Plan Page, pressing the SHW CHRT Softkey displays the available terminal chart and advances to the chart selection level of softkeys:
CHRT OPT, CHRT, INFO, DP, STAR, APR, WX, and
GO BACK. The chart selection softkeys appear on the Airport Information Page.
Pressing the GO BACK Softkey reverts to the top level softkeys and previous page.
Pressing the CHRT OPT Softkey displays the available terminal chart and advances to the next level of softkeys:
ALL, FIT WDTH, FULL SCN, and BACK.
While viewing the CHRT OPT Softkeys, after 45 seconds of softkey inactivity, the system reverts to the chart selection softkeys.
If a chart is available for the destination airport, or the airport selected in the active flight plan, the chart appears on the screen. When no flight plan is active, or when not flying to a direct-to destination, pressing the SHW CHRT Softkey displays the chart for the nearest airport, if available.

NOTAMs are not available with FliteCharts. The NOTAM Softkey label appears subdued and is disabled.
When no terminal procedure chart is available, the banner CHART NOT AVAILABLE appears on the screen. The CHART NOT AVAILABLE banner does not refer to the FliteCharts subscription, but rather the availability of a particular airport chart selection or procedure for a selected airport.
If there is a problem in rendering the data (such as a data error or a failure of an individual chart), the banner UNABLE TO DISPLAY CHART is then displayed.
Chart Options
Pressing the CHRT OPT Softkey displays the next level of softkeys, the chart options level (Figure 8-35).
Pressing the ALL Softkey shows the entire chart on the screen.
