With the appropriate third party software installed, the t·BagC2² EFB can be used for storing aircraft flight
manuals (Airline Operations Manual, Aircraft Operations Manual, Maintenance Manuals), minimum equipment lists

Q. Can the t·BagC2² EFB display my aircraft position on charts?
Yes, the t·BagC2² EFB can display your aircraft position on charts with an attached GPS signal from an
external source. You may use a stand-alone GPS unit or on-board avionics equipment with the ability to output
GPS data feed. GPS interface can be either USB or Serial. If the GPS signal is being pulled from on board
avionics equipment, you may need to use a 429 to RS232 (serial converter). Please refer to the avionics equipment
manufacturers manual. Which 429 to RS232 converter you use is also dependant on which data format the software
program requires. Please refer to software vendor's manual.

Q. Why don't I get aircraft position while two software programs are running simultaneously?
If you are running two applications that both need GPS input, then you will need a second GPS. Presently,
only one application can access a GPS data source at any one time. There are some third party software packages
that allow a GPS to be shared between two applications. Please refer to the software vendor's manual for
recommendations.

Q. What video resolution does the 8.4-inch display support?
SVGA 800x600 in landscape mode, or 600x800 in portrait mode. Always install software in the landscape mode
(800x600) before rotating to (600x800) portrait mode. Do not change the video resolution in "display
properties" to anything other than 800x600 video resolution. Doing so may result in video problems and the display not
working properly.

Q. What video resolution does the 10.4-inch display support?
XGA 1024x768 in landscape mode, or 768x1024 in portrait mode. Always install software in the landscape mode
(1024x768) before rotating to 768x1024 portrait mode. Do not change the video resolution in "display
properties" to anything other than 1024x768 video resolution. Doing so may result in video problems and the
display not working properly.

Q. Why did the touch-screen lose calibration when I rotated the screen between landscape mode and portrait mode?
The touch drivers do not support automatic calibration when the screen is rotated between landscape mode
and portrait mode. Use the touch icon on the desktop to re-calibrate the touch-screen when rotating between
landscape and portrait mode. This is best accomplished by using an external USB keyboard, and USB mouse.

Q. I am currently using the 8.4-inch display and I have upgraded to the 10.4-inch display. Now I
have just a white screen with colorbars. What happened?
The 8.4-inch display works in only one video resolution mode (SVGA). The 10.4-inch display works in only
one video mode (XGA). Please refer to the Operations manual or contact technical support before proceeding
with a display upgrade.

Q. I can no longer view the desktop icons in Windows XP when I switched from the 10.4-inch display to the
8.4-inch display. Where did they go?
You are viewing the desktop in "expanded view." When switching from the 10.4-inch display to the
8.4-inch display, please refer to the Operations manual or contact technical support for the proper procedure
before switching between displays.

Q. What is the preferred method to install software onto the t·BagC2² EFB?
First, use an approved "Designed for Windows XP" compatible external USB CD/DVD player, or any other USB
type storage device via one of the provided USB ports on the Break Out Box. (Visit Microsoft's website
www.microsoft.com for a hardware compatibility list.) These products will
have a "Designed for Windows XP" logo. Also, a USB keyboard and USB mouse are recommended. Follow the software installation
instructions provided with the program.

Q. Why won't my USB powered CD/DVD player work?
The current drawn for CD/DVD players that are powered only by the USB ports exceed the supplied current.
Use an externally powered USB CD/DVD player to install your software.

Q. When I touch the "touch screen configurator" icon on the desktop, I get the error message "No
devices have been discovered." What causes this?
The display is not receiving the USB signal needed for the touch. Verify your wiring harness and the
connectors at both ends of the wiring harness.
