1.3 Operating Controls
You operate the chart using a variety of controls:
•
A trackpad providing up, down, left, right and diagonal control of an on-
screen cursor.
•
Eleven dedicated (labeled) control keys.
•
Four soft keys with labels displayed on the screen.
•
Pop-up menus, displayed on-screen, from which you select options.
•
Database lists, displayed on-screen, which enable you to edit items.
Note: The cursor is the cross-hair symbol (+) visible on the display. You move
the cursor using the trackpad and use it to select a position or item on the chart.
The control keys are shown in Figure 1-2. They are back-lit for night-time use.
When you use a control, a help message is displayed at the top of the screen
