Waypoint

Some items on the chartplotter screen, such as waypoints and chart

objects have information associated with them. When you place the

cursor over such objects, the information is displayed in a data box. In

addition, soft keys are displayed for certain items. For example, when

you place the cursor over a waypoint, the waypoint soft keys are

displayed.

The context-sensitive cursor allows you to move databoxes.

Dedicated Keys

These keys have fixed functions; the functions are similar on all HSB

Series displays. For example, ALARMS is used to set up the system

alarms on both a chartplotter and a radar.

Some keys can be used in two ways:

• Press: Press the key momentarily and then release it. This method is

used for most key operations.

• Press and hold: Press the key and hold it down for the length of time

stated (for example, 3 seconds), and then release it.

When you press a dedicated key, one of the following happens:

a) The associated operation is actioned, e.g. change chart scale

(RANGE).

b) A pop-up menu is displayed, providing further options.

c) A set of soft keys is displayed, providing further functions.

As you press a key, a single audio beep confirms the key action. If the

key-press is not valid for the current screen or mode, three rapid beeps

sound to indicate that no response is available. If required, you can turn

the key beeps off as part of your set up procedure (see Chapter 5).
