EDM-830 pointers

[455 Bravo Uniform]

I love this thing, but haven’t quite gotten the hang of entering fuel added. Yes, it’s easy when I fill up, it asks me if I filled and shows 75 gal as filled tanks, good to go. But I can never remember how to add partial fuel to the EDM, or how to add it after I’ve exited the screen, like if I forgot and am in flight. The instructions aren’t easy to my brain - I guess I just need to make a cheat sheet until the procedure just sinks in. What do you guys do? <OOOPS, I JUST SAW THIS ASKED AND ANSWERED A WEEK AGO, SORRY. QUESTION BELOW STILL VALID>

Also, went on a flight yesterday and returned around dusk. Not dark enough for the display to dim as much as it did, so was having a tough time seeing it. How do you adjust the dimming settings? Again, instructions weren’t clear, and quick web search didn’t help.

Here it is for anyone else as dumb as me:

It's much easier if you just fill it up everytime for sure!

I figured out the dimming by messing with it. Went to the hangar this afternoon. By memory:

-Push and hold both buttons simultaneously to get into program mode.

-It might ask “Refuel”? If so, select “no”. Or it says “Program”? Then “yes”. I can’t remember, but it’s intuitive enough.

-Keep clicking “next” until you get to Night Display. Then you can adjust from 60 to -60 in increments of 10.

-Next is Day Display. Same thing.

-Then save.
