Overview of display unit controls
The plotter, radar, sounder and chart systems are mainly operated with controls
of the display unit (and remote controller). Ten keys are labeled and they provide
the function shown on their labels. The five soft keys provide various functions
according to current operating mode. The [ENTER] knob mainly functions to
register selections on the menu and enter alphanumeric data. The cursor pad’s
main function is to move the cursor across the screen. When you correctly
execute an operation, the unit generates a beep. Invalid operation causes the
unit to emit three beeps.
