1.2 CONVENTIONS USED IN THIS MANUAL
Commands to be typed from the computer’s keyboard are in italics. The
action to be taken is in all capital letters (e.g., “TYPE”). For example,
“TYPE:
PCX5”
means you should type the word “PCX5” on the computer keyboard.
Specific computer keys are enclosed in angle brackets. For example,
“
CD GARMIN <Enter>”
means you should type the command “CD GARMIN”, followed by pressing
the <Enter> key.
Two keys separated by a plus sign (“+”) should be pressed simultaneously
(e.g., <Alt+F4>).
Multiple menu selections are separated by a vertical line (“l”). For example,
“Config l Units Menu”
means you would select the “Config” menu, followed by the “Units” menu.
