The GPSMAP system uses an on-screen
message field to alert you to important
information. Whenever a message appears,
press the
C
key to confirm the message.
There are two types of messages: temporary
messages and condition messages. Temporary
messages are cleared from the message page
after viewing, while condition messages
remain in the message window until the
condition has been resolved.
To view the message window, press the
MESSAGES softkey from the Auxiliary
Options Window. Pay careful attention
to all messages for your own safety.
