First, find your way around the keypad and the display.
Centre keys are a ‘navigation pad’ ( UP DOWN LEFT RIGHT ).
Softkeys are situated on either side of the navigation pad. The current
function is shown on the soft-key menu area at the bottom of the LCD.
The MODE softkey switches between the three operating ‘modes’
(NAVTEX, Navigate & Setup).
The VIEW softkey switches between ‘views’ in each operating ‘mode’. If
a ‘view’ has several ‘pages’ associated with it then these are selected
