Hello,

the softkeys on the chart und map display are removed automatically after one second. When I press a button the softkeys are displayed for a short time and then removed again.

We have 2 aircrafts with the MFD. One shows the softkey untit press "remove label", the other aircraft has the problem. Any idea?

Kind regards

Bernd

To change the menu (button) timeout period, go to the Aux page, then press System Time. Then make the desired selection by the "Menu Timeout" option. If you want the buttons to stay up all the time, select "Never". Don't forget to press "Save".
