CURSOR AND FIELDS

The area of the page which is highlighted in reverse video is called the
cursor. The cursor may be moved to locations on the page called fields
which allow you to enter data or change options. You will encounter five
types of fields.

· Numeric fields accept numbers only.

· Alphanumeric fields accept numbers as well as letters.

· Cyclic fields allow selection from several available options. A

cyclic field is preceded by a prompt ( ). You may cycle through the
choices by pushing CLR.

· Confirmation fields allow you to indicate your approval. For

example, you will be asked to confirm that you want to delete a
waypoint. Confirmation fields always end with a “?” character.
Press ENT to approve the confirmation field.

· Bar fields allow an adjustable scale entry with the length of the

bar representing the minimum to maximum setting. Use your
arrow keys to make adjustments in bar fields.

2.4 KEYPAD OPERATION

The PWR/STAT key is a dual function key that controls unit
power and system status. Pressing this when the unit is off will
turn the unit on. To turn the unit off, press and hold PWR/STAT
until the display is blank.

Pressing PWR/STAT momentarily while the unit is on will take
you to the status pages (see Section 3.2). If the message
annunciator is flashing and the tone sounds, you may push
PWR/STAT to view the message.
