Features and Entering Data
Cursor— A highlighted area on the screen which can be moved up/down/left/right with the
ROCKER KEYPAD 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.
Default— A system-selected format, built into 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
is ‘miles per hour’ but can be changed to ‘kilometers per hour’. Once a setting is changed, the new setting
is retained until another change is made or the ‘Restore Original Settings’ menu option is selected.
Field— The location on a page where a group of characters or an option is entered and displayed.
The cursor is placed on a fi eld (using the ROCKER KEYPAD ) to begin data entry or select options.
To enter data in a data fi eld:
1. Use the ROCKER KEYPAD to highlight the desired data fi eld. Press ENTER to begin data entry.
2. Use the ROCKER KEYPAD to enter the desired data. UP/DOWN to select the desired character and
RIGHT to move to the next character fi eld. LEFT allows you to back up to the previous character fi eld
or, when at the left-most character fi eld, to clear the entire data fi eld.
3. Once 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 ‘Route to It’ button
appearing at the bottom of the Waypoint Marked Page (see example at left).
Scroll Bar— When viewing a list of items too long to display on a single page, a scroll bar will appear
along the right-hand side of the list (see example at left). The position of the scroll bar indicates which
portion of the list is currently being displayed. The height of the scroll bar indicates the number of items
in the list. To scroll through a list of items, use the UP/DOWN portion of the ROCKER KEYPAD.
An example of an on-screen button—the ‘Route to It’ button
on the Waypoint Marked Page.
When viewing a list of items too long to display on a
