Adjusting the altimeter barometric pressure setting creates discontinuitiesin VNV vertical deviation, moving the descent path. For large adjustments, it may take several minutes for theaircraft to re-establish on the descent patch. If the change is made while nearing a waypoint with a VNV TargetAltitude, the aircraft may not re-establish on the descent path in time to meet the vertical constraint.WARNING: Do not use a QFE altimeter setting with this system. System functions will not operate properlywith a QFE altimeter setting. Use only a QHN altimeter setting for the height above mean sea level, or thestandard pressure setting, as applicable.Selecting the altimeter barometric pressure setting:Turn the BARO Knob to select the desired setting.Selecting standard barometric pressure (29.92 in Hg):1) Press the PFD Opt Softkey to display the second-level softkeys.2) Press the STD Baro Softkey.3) Press the Back Softkey to return to the top-level softkeys.Figure 2-10 Standard Barometric SettingChanging altimeter barometric pressure setting units:1) Press the PFD Opt Softkey to display the second-level softkeys.2) Press the ALT Units Softkey.3) Press the IN Softkey to display the barometric pressure setting in inches of mercury (in Hg).Or:Press the HPA Softkey to display the barometric pressure setting in hectopascals (hPa).4) Press the Back Softkey twice to return to the top-level softkeys.The Baro Transition Alerts flash the barometric pressure setting to remind the pilot to change the barometricpressure setting to or from standard. Two alerts are available. The altitude Baro Transition Alert occurs whenclimbing through the transition altitude beginning at 200 feet below this altitude. The flight level Baro TransitionAlert occurs when descending through the transition flight level beginning at 200 feet above this flight level.The barometric pressure setting stops flashing after the pilot changes the barometric pressure setting. The pilotcan enable/disable either Baro Transition Alerts, and choose the altitude or flight level used to trigger the alerts.Setting the Baro Transition Alerts:1) Use the FMS Knob to select the Aux - System Setup 1 Page on the MFD.2) Press the FMS Knob to activate the cursor.
