BEST PRACTICES

Run the latest software releases:   Check the versions of the FXVIEW software and iRex firmware against the latest versions listed below and perform any required updates.  Contact us at support@solidfx.com if you have any questions.

Sensor locks:  Make sure to configure the touch sensor buttons the way you like them. Some people like them all turned off - some like to leave selected groups on.  It really depends on how you hold and use the FX10 in the cockpit.  Once you set the sensor lock settings in FXview (see Settings icon on the bottom of the Airport Notebook screen), your preferences will be automatically configured whenever you enter the FXview application.

SD card:  Leave the SD Card in the unit.  The software and Jeppesen database will only function using the original card.  If you lose or damage your SD card, please contact us at support@solidfx.com.  If for some reason the card is removed from the FX10, make sure the write protect switch on the card is not accidently turned on when replaced in the unit.  Do not alter or remove files that exist on the FX10 SD cards at the time of delivery.  Make separate directories to contain your own documents.

FAQs (FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS)

Top 4 FAQs

 

• Do I need a paper back-up if I have the FX10?

  If you are flying under Part 91 (most general aviation and business operations), then you don't need paper charts when you use the FX10.  However, it is always advisable to have a back-up.  The back-up could be a panel-mounted solution, paper charts, or perhaps a second FX10.  Go to Jeppesen's website www.flyelectronic.net for more info.

   

  Part 135 and 121 pilots may also be able to fly paperless after meeting certain FAA guidelines.  Please review FAA document AC-120-76A and AC-91-78 for more information.

   

• How do I update the Jeppesen data? 

  Review the instructions found in the FX10 Owner's manual beginning on page 28.  Use this link to download the Jeppesen Service Update Manager (JSUM) software. http://www.jeppesen.com/jsum/download.  For additional JSUM help, go to http://jsum.jeppesen.com/jsum/help/JSUM.htm.

   

• I don't see my eChart Reader Service on JSUM.  What do I do?

  First, verify that you are using JSUM 2.1.4 or newer.  Previous versions of JSUM do not support the eChart Reader Services.  To download the latest version, go to http://www.jeppesen.com/jsum/download.  For additional JSUM help, go to http://jsum.jeppesen.com/jsum/help/JSUM.htm.

   

• Why won't my FX10 start?

  Make sure the unit is charged.  If the battery is completely drained, it may need to be charged for some time before it can be powered on.  If it has charged for an hour or more and still does not power up, reset the device by gently inserting the stylus tip in the reset hole at the base of the unit.  If you still have problems, contact us at support@solidfx.com.
