Features and Data Entry
The following screen features and terms are referred to both in this Quick Start Guide and through-
out the Pilot’s Guide.
CURSOR
— A highlighted area on the screen (white text on black background) which can be moved
up/down/left/right with the
ARROW KEYPAD
in order to select individual fi elds on the display.
Moving the cursor to a given location allows you to begin data entry or scroll through a list.
FIELD
— The location on a page (such as the “waypoint name fi eld” shown at right) where a group
of characters or an option is entered and displayed. The cursor is placed on a fi eld (using the
ARROW
KEYPAD
) either to begin data entry or to select options.
To enter data in a data fi eld:
1. Use the
ARROW KEYPAD
to highlight the desired data fi eld and press
ENTER
to begin data entry.
2. Use the
ARROW KEYPAD
to enter the desired data. The UP/DOWN arrows select the desired char-
acter; the RIGHT arrow moves to the next character fi eld; the LEFT arrow moves back to the previous
character fi eld or, when pressed at the left-most character fi eld, clears the entire data fi eld.
3. When the desired data has been entered, press
ENTER
to confi rm.
ON-SCREEN BUTTON
— Similar to “Field”. Place the cursor on a button and press
ENTER
to select
the action corresponding to that button. An example of an on-screen button is the ‘Goto’ button that
appears at the bottom of the waypoint information pages.
SCROLL BAR
— When viewing a list of items that is too long to display on a single page, a scroll bar
appears along the right-hand side of the list. The position of the scroll bar shows which portion of the
list is being displayed. The height of the scroll bar gives a feel for the number of items in the list (i.e.,
the shorter the bar, the longer the list and vice versa).
To scroll through a list of items, use the UP/DOWN portion of the ARROW KEYPAD.
DEFAULT
— A system-selected format, built into either the operating software or the unit’s memory,
that will be followed unless the user chooses a different setting. For example, the default setting for
speed readings (in ‘Aviation’ mode) is ‘knots’, but this setting can be changed to ‘miles per hour’ or
‘kilometers per hour’. Once a setting is changed, the new setting is retained until another change is
made or until the ‘Restore Defaults’ menu option is selected.
Example of cursor and on-screen button. The cursor is highlighting
the on-screen ‘Goto’ button. Press
ENTER
to select.
Example of on-screen cursor and data entry.
1. Use the
ARROW KEYPAD
to place the
cursor on the waypoint name fi eld.
2. Press

.
3. Press RIGHT on the
ARROW KEYPAD
to move to the second character. Then
UP/DOWN on the
ARROW KEYPAD
to
select the desired character.
4. Press RIGHT on the
ARROW KEYPAD
to move to the third character. Then UP/
DOWN to select the desired character.
