cursor enabled, the large right knob allows the pilot to
move the cursor about the page. The large right knob is
also used to move the target pointer right (turn clockwise)
or left (counterclockwise) when the map panning function
is active.

allows the pilot to enter data and/or make a selection from
a list of options. When entering data, the small knob is
used to select the desired letter or number and the large
knob is used to move to the next character space. The
small right knob is also used to move the target pointer
up (turn clockwise) or down (counterclockwise) when the
map panning function is active.

NOTe: Data is entered using the large and
small right knobs (Figure 1-2). experiment with
them to become efficient at entering data. This
will greatly reduce the amount of time spent
operating the GPS 400 in flight.
