You have to open the comms menu, usually assigned to the backslash, then press F8 for the ground unit, then look and select ground power or air supply, then F2 to connect.

 

 

Here it is better explained:

 

 

The Tomcat start-up procedure is quite interesting since it is basically a two-man job. First, you need to ensure the parking brake is set before pressing the Communication Menu key [ \ ] and contact the Ground Crew by pressing [ F8 ]. Since the Tomcat does not have a battery switch nor an APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) – its electrical systems run strictly on either engine generator power or an external power source. We need to connect Ground Power by pressing [ F2 ] (Ground Electric Power menu) and [ F1 ] (Power On). Our GE F110 engines have pneumatic starters and require an external air pressure source, which can be provided by contacting the Ground Crew [ F8 ], pressing [ F2 ] (Ground Air Supply menu) and by pressing [ F1 ] (Connect).
