Quick Start Guide
About Your AV8OR 3D System
Thank you for purchasing the AV8OR 3D
System, the first portable multifunction flight
display (MFD) with 3D synthetic vision. This
Quick Start Guide helps you set up and prepare
your AV8OR 3D System for use.
For your convenience, this Quick Start Guide is
furnished in hardcopy and is also available in
electronic format on the AV8OR 3D Tablet PC.
More complete and detailed information is
available in the AV8OR 3D User’s Guide, also
furnished in electronic format. To access the
latest AV8OR 3D information and help, visit
www.bendixking.com.
Note that if you purchased the AV8OR 3D software
and Inertial Navigation Unit (INU) without a
Samsung Tablet PC, you must provide your own
Tablet PC and install the AV8OR 3D software
yourself using the supplied DVD.
Unpacking Your AV8OR 3D System
Confirm that you have the following items:
• Samsung Tablet PC Kit,
including Indoor AC Power Adapter and stylus
• AV8OR 3D Inertial Navigation Unit (INU)
• Aircraft 12V/28V DC Power Adapter with
cables
• GPS antenna or DUO GPS/XM antenna
• DVD for AV8OR 3D System reinstallation
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Warning: AV8OR 3D is not to be used as a primary navigation reference. It is designed to be an aid to situational awareness and to
provide a backup reference in case of electrical or primary instrument failure.
Before You Fly with AV8OR 3D
Tablet PC
Your new Samsung Tablet PC
is a standard personal computer that
runs Microsoft Windows® XP, Tablet PC
Edition. You can use the Tablet PC most
anywhere, such as at home, in the cockpit, or at
the office. It is important to become familiar with
both the Samsung Tablet PC and the AV8OR 3D
System before flight.
If you have not used a Tablet PC before, take
some time to become comfortable with the
Samsung. There is keyboard, although a virtual
keyboard appears on the screen when needed.
The screen accepts stylus input, or an optional
mouse or trackball can be attached by USB. You
can also attach a standard USB keyboard.
Settings, including stylus sensitivity and double
tap, can be adjusted from within the PC
Because the Samsung is portable, you can
familiarize yourself with it in the comfort of your
home, office, or nearest pilot's lounge. You do
not need the INU for this. AV8OR 3D includes a
Simulator Mode that allows you to “fly” and
become familiar with the operation of AV8OR 3D
without an aircraft or the INU.
Before use, check and set the PC system time, if
necessary. Set the time zone to your local zone
using the normal Windows XP controls.
Installing the Samsung Tablet PC in the Mount
To install the Samsung Tablet PC in the mount:
1. Place the mount so that the flat mounting area is facing you, with the curved clip on the left.
2. Insert the right side of the Samsung into the right side of the mount and press the Samsung completely into
the mount.
________________________________________________________________________________________________

Rechargeable Batteries
When fully charged, the built-in battery will
power the Samsung PC
. To ensure full backup availability in case
of aircraft electrical failure, keep the battery fully
charged. In normal flight, the DC Power Adapter
runs the Samsung and charges its battery at the
same time. This adapter works on any aircraft
bus voltage from 12 VDC to 30 VDC. Indoors,
use the AC Power Adapter to power the Samsung
and charge its battery.
The Inertial Navigation Unit (INU) also has a
built-in rechargeable battery that runs it for about
2 hours when fully charged. The Aircraft Power
Adapter is also designed to run and charge the
INU concurrently. The INU does not have an
Indoor Power Adapter.
Note: All rechargeable batteries slowly lose
their charge during storage. If your AV8OR 3D
System has not been used for several weeks,
make sure that you recharge the batteries to full
capacity before flight.
3.
When the USA map appears, click OK.
4.
A dialog box with four buttons appears.
Click the Simulator button.
5.
When AV8OR 3D starts in Simulator Mode, a
simulator control window appears with an
animated control stick, a sliding speed
control, and a Reset button. To start moving,
use the stylus to slide the speed control up
the screen, and then use the control stick to
fly.
6.
The Reset button puts your virtual airplane
into straight and level flight.
Using the AV8OR 3D Simulator
AV8OR 3D has a Simulation Mode that you can
use to familiarize yourself with AV8OR 3D and for
flight planning. The simulator runs on the Samsung
Tablet and allows you to explore the functions of
AV8OR 3D using an animated control stick.
With a little practice, you can easily master
control of the simulator. All the features of
AV8OR 3D are available from within the
Simulator. You can even pre-fly flight plans and
approaches.
To run the simulator:
1. Turn on the Samsung.
2. Double-tap the AV8OR 3D program icon to
start AV8OR 3D. Do not turn on the INU.

Downloading and Updating the
Aeronautical Data
During AV8OR 3D startup, the map of the USA
indicates by color whether the installed
aeronautical and navigational data for various
regions is current. Green means up-to-date, and
yellow or tan means out-of-date.
Note: AV8OR 3D continues to operate normally,
even if the data is out-of-date.
To update the aeronautical data:
1.
2.
Using the Samsung Tablet or any computer
that is connected to the Internet, go to the
AV8OR 3D online store at www.bendixking.com.
Log in to the Customer Center with the
username and password that you used to
purchase AV8OR 3D and click Downloads,
Updates and Manuals. On this page are
Aeronautical Information Database updates
for the current 28-day period. The data is
split into six geographical regions or zones:
A. East
B. Central
C. Mountain
D. West
E. Alaska
F. Hawaii
3.
Select a database zone.
4.
After you have selected your zone, a license
window pops up with a button at the bottom.
Click the button to accept the license. Once
you have accepted the license, the download
starts automatically.
5.
A dialog box appears that gives you a choice
to either Run or Save the file. If you are
using the Samsung, choose Run. If you are
using another computer, choose Save.
These files are large, so, even with a fast Internet
connection, the download takes several minutes.
If you use a second computer for the download,
you must transfer the Database Update files to
the Samsung. The easiest way is to use a USB flash
memory drive (also called a keychain or thumb
drive). Use the Windows Drag and Drop feature
to copy the files onto the USB drive. Insert the
USB drive into the Samsung and double-click each
Database Update file. A 512-MB drive holds a
AV8OR 3D database for at least one region; a 2GB drive holds all database regions.
Note: The aeronautical data is updated on a 28day cycle, so even a brand new AV8OR 3D may
have expired data.
Finishing the Data Update
After you have downloaded the database updater
onto the Samsung Tablet PC, follow these steps to
execute the data update:
1.
Make sure that the AV8OR 3D software is not
running.
2.
Navigate to the database updater and click
on it. The updater has a name similar to:
ZoneA_Full_15Feb07_15Mar07.exe.
Note: Be careful to choose the database
installer and not AV8OR 3D itself.
3.
When the install wizard starts, follow the
instructions as they appear on the screen to
update your AV8OR 3D system.
The next time you start AV8OR 3D, the region
corresponding to the updates appears in green on
the USA map.

Installing AV8OR 3D in the Aircraft
AV8OR 3D accommodates the needs of both
aircraft owners and renters. Owners can save
preflight time by leaving the INU, antenna, and
power supply installed in the aircraft. Renters
can easily move the whole portable system to
any aircraft they choose.
Note: AV8OR 3D is optimized to operate in an
aircraft. AV8OR 3D may not display correct
attitude and GPS position in a non-aircraft
environment, such as a car.
Note: Be careful to get a good clean suction seal.
Due to pressure changes, suction cups may lose
some effect and need resealing at cruise altitude.
Note: The location of the Samsung Tablet PC must
not obstruct any aircraft controls, flight-critical
instruments, or the pilot’s view outside of the
aircraft.
Mounting the AV8OR 3D GPS and XM
Antennas
Mounting the Samsung Tablet PC
Choose a location in the cockpit to install the Samsung
Tablet PC and Mount Assembly. The
mount can be clamped onto the yoke or
attached to the windshield by the suction cup.
Avoid direct sunlight for screen visibility and
temperature reasons.
A wide selection of compatible mount
accessories and options is available from the
RAM Mount Company at www.ram-mount.com.
All GPS and XM satellite antennas require an
unobstructed view of the sky. Metallic
obstructions, including heated windshields, can
block satellite reception. Radio interference in
the cockpit also degrades satellite reception. The
FAA has noted that some older aircraft radios
can cause GPS reception issues.
In most cases, locating the AV8OR 3D antennas or
DUO antenna on the aircraft glare shield
provides good reception. Keep the antenna 12
inches or more from the Samsung, and 8 inches or
more from the magnetic compass.
If the internal reception is not adequate,
AV8OR 3D has been designed to work with
external antennas. Contact an avionics shop for
details concerning external GPS or XM antenna
installation.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
5
Installing the Aircraft Power Adapter
Choose a location for the Aircraft Power Adapter
where it is out of the way, and run the cables to
the INU and the Samsung Tablet PC. The optional
mounting kit helps with the routing of cables to
reduce cockpit clutter.
Mounting the WxWorx Satellite
Weather Receiver
Mounting the INU
Choose the best location for the INU:
•
Find a firm, approximately level surface.
•
Position the INU with the arrow on the top
facing in the direction of flight.
•
Make sure that the box does not slip or
move. Use Velcro or the mounting bracket
to steady it.
•
Assure that the INU is protected from being
kicked or knocked.
•
Check that no large metallic obstructions
come between it and the Samsung.
•
Adjust the position so that the INU power
switch is accessible.
In most cases, the floor is the best location for
the INU – under a seat, if possible. An optional
INU aircraft mounting kit is available that
secures the INU and the Aircraft Power Adapter.
The optional WxWorx Satellite Weather
Receiver can be mounted near or on top of the
INU. It has its own power supply and antenna.
The optional Weather Integration Kit
consolidates GPS and XM antennas, as well as
the separate power supplies to dramatically
reduce cockpit clutter. The weather receiver
connects to the Samsung via Bluetooth, like the
INU. However, the WxWorx receiver has no
power switch and no internal battery backup; it
does not turn on until the aircraft power is on.
Note: While the WxWorx receiver may be
purchased at any time, the integration kit is
available only at the time of initial purchase.
Note: Failure to secure the INU, or installations
that are not level and forward-facing reduce the
stability and accuracy of AV8OR 3D.
Note: If the INU moves within the aircraft in
flight, AV8OR 3D displays a false indication of
motion, which can mislead the pilot.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
6
Plugs and Cables
Ensure that all cables are securely attached.
Note: The illustration shows the optional Triple DC power supply, but the connectors are the same as on
the standard power supply.
Warning
Do not plug the Samsung or INU power plugs into the WxWorx receiver. Doing so will damage the
WxWorx unit and void the warranty.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
7
Starting AV8OR 3D in the Aircraft
For best operation, start the AV8OR 3D system after the aircraft power is up and stable. This practice avoids
draining the batteries and any problems due to voltage swings.
To start the AV8OR 3D system in the aircraft:
1.
Turn on the INU. The blue light flashes to indicate that the Bluetooth device is ready.
2.
Start the Samsung and wait for the Windows desktop to appear.
3.
Click the AV8OR 3D icon on the Windows desktop.
4.
When the USA map appears, click OK.
5.
The first time that AV8OR 3D detects the INU, it displays a message with the specific INU identifier.
Click Select to tell AV8OR 3D to use this INU. After the first startup, AV8OR 3D expects to find the same
INU as before, and does not show the INU Select screen again.
6.
Once the communication between AV8OR 3D and the INU is established, the blue light on the INU stays
on. When AV8OR 3D acquires the GPS signals from multiple satellites, it displays the satellite strengths
as colored bars, and, within a minute or so, displays the split 2D/3D synthetic vision view of your
location.
Note: The heading indication will not be correct until the aircraft starts moving.

Interpreting Speed, Track, and Altitude
Setting
Description
Speed
Track
AV8OR 3D displays ground speed, because it is based on GPS data. It has no access to air speed.
AV8OR 3D has no compass. It uses WAAS-enabled GPS as its directional reference, so the track
is correct only when the aircraft is in motion. This is normal.
Note: This is ground track, which differs from aircraft heading due to wind.
On the altimeter tape, the white number in the center is the MSL altitude. Below it, the yellow
number is AGL. AV8OR 3D uses its terrain database to compute AGL. Unlike a radar altimeter,
this works at any altitude. AV8OR 3D measures altitude by your choice of GPS or Barometric. In
pressurized aircraft, the GPS altimeter must be used, because the barometric sensor in the INU
would read the cabin altitude.
Note: It is important to understand that GPS altitude varies considerably from barometric
pressure altitude as the aircraft climbs. This is normal and is due to temperature and pressure
changes that occur at increasing altitudes.
Altitude
Important Tablet PC and Internet Considerations
•
In addition to running AV8OR 3D, you can use the Samsung to run flight-planning software, view approach
plates, log checklists, read reference texts, and for other purposes.
•
If you connect the Samsung to the Internet, use firewall, anti-virus, and anti-spyware software, but be
sure to turn all of them off before running AV8OR 3D. These software packages put a continuous load on
computer resources and introduce points of failure, which should be avoided in flight.
•
We recommend not using Microsoft Windows Update on the AV8OR 3D Samsung. It causes unpredictable
changes to your Windows software.
•
The Windows power settings are factory set to never shut down, and hibernation is disabled. Do not
change these settings.

Troubleshooting
The following topics provide troubleshooting hints for common AV8OR 3D problems. If you need further
assistance, contact your nearest Bendix/King dealer.
AV8OR 3D gets stuck waiting for a GPS
signal, or the main display quits and waits
for GPS.
Make sure that the GPS antenna is securely
screwed into the INU.
Find a better position for the GPS antenna. GPS
satellites may be anywhere in the sky.
Try to eliminate interference from other avionics.
INU not found.
Be sure that the INU is powered on with the blue
light flashing, then check for possible Bluetooth
interference.
In AV8OR 3D, choose Menu: Cfg: INU/Simu: and
click Reset to un-pair the INU from the Samsung.
Then shut down and restart AV8OR 3D. When the
INU ID is displayed, click Select to re-pair the
INU and the Tablet PC.
Weather data is not displayed.
Be sure that the WxWorx receiver is plugged in
to power. (It has no battery or power switch.)
The blue light should be flashing.
Wait. It takes time to connect to the WxWorx,
and several minutes or more of good reception to
download a full set of data from the satellite.
Note that very light clouds may not be displayed.
The first time you start AV8OR 3D with WxWorx,
choose Menu: Cfg: XM Info: and click Start to
start the WxWorx radio. Later starts with the
same equipment should find the WxWorx
automatically.
If the problem persists, it may be poor XM
reception. Choose Menu: Cfg: XM Info: and
look at the XM Signal status display. If the
signal is not good, try a different antenna
position. The XM satellite is geosynchronous,
over the equator, in the southern sky from the
USA.

Weather data is displayed, but does not
update.
Suspect poor XM reception. The antenna may no
longer have a good view of the South.
Check that the WxWorx receiver still has power.
AV8OR 3D is slow or gets “stuck.”
Other software may be running. Be sure that
virus scanners and other added software are
turned off in flight.
Check your GPS reception. Choose Menu: Cfg:
GPS: to see the satellite bars. Marginal GPS
signals may cause hiccups.
Altitudes near and above 10,000 MSL may cause
hard disk failure, unless you are using the Solid
State Disk model of the Samsung, or are in a
pressurized aircraft.
AV8OR 3D 3D view is unstable or shows
vibration.
Check that the INU is securely mounted.
Some attitude instability may be expected at taxi
speeds, and some engines vibrate a lot at idle.
If the view is consistently under-damped,
increase damping by choosing Menu: Cfg:.
Scroll right to Advanced: and increase the
attitude damping.
The default is 0. Try 200 ms to start.
If the view is too sluggish, reduce the damping.
AV8OR 3D shuts down.
Check that aircraft power is still reaching the
Samsung and the INU.
A power cable may have come loose and the
Samsung or INU rechargeable battery may have
run down.
Screen too dim (or too bright at night).
In AV8OR 3D, adjust brightness with the top
central button.
In the Windows desktop, use the Motion
Dashboard display brightness setting.
Cannot activate an approach.
Some approaches are not yet digitized in the
database, so they cannot be flown with Synthetic
Vision. AV8OR 3D engineers are hard at work
digitizing more approaches.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
14
Key Points to Remember
•
To operate properly, the INU must be mounted with the arrow facing in the direction of flight.
•
To maintain current FAA data, update the AV8OR 3D database every 28 days via the AV8OR 3D website.
AV8OR 3D is not to be used for primary navigation.
