Important: Only the “X Increment” and “Y Increment” parameters are used
for manual panning. The remaining parameters in the Panning
menu are used to specify auto panning margins.
“X Increment” determines the number of spaces the screen pans to the left or right
when the <BLUE> key is pressed followed by the <LEFT> or <RIGHT> arrow key.
“Y Increment” determines the number of lines the screen pans up or down when the
<BLUE> key is pressed followed by the <UP> or <DOWN> arrow key.
• Type a value in the “X Increment” and “Y Increment” parameters.
To pan the screen contents:
• Press the <BLUE> key followed by the <RIGHT>, <LEFT>, <UP> or
<DOWN> arrow key to pan the entire screen of information.
Pressing <BLUE> <LEFT> arrow pans the screen to the right, pressing <BLUE>
<RIGHT> arrow pans the screen to the left, and so on.
Note: To more efficiently pan the content of the screen, try locking the <BLUE>
key “on” by pressing it twice. You can then press any arrow key in any
direction until the necessary information has been brought into view.
When you have finished panning the information, press the <BLUE> key
a third time to unlock or turn it off.
The <DEL/CLR> Key
The <DEL> key (sometimes referred to as destructive backspace) moves the cursor
one character to the left, erasing the incorrectly entered key stroke. This key
operation is not consistent with the DELETE key on a PC keyboard. It is consistent
with the PC BACKSPACE key.
The <CLR> function erases the contents of the field in which the cursor resides.
The <CTRL> Key
The <CTRL> key modifies the next key pressed and is application dependent.For
example, in a macro field, pressing <CTRL> <L> (L is the ‘literal’ function)
followed by the <ENTER> key inserts the function of the <ENTER> key into the
macro. In TESS and ANSI applications, defined <CTRL> key combinations
perform specific actions. <CTRL> key functions for each application are described
in the appropriate chapters of this manual.
Note: On vehicle-mounts without a dedicated <CTRL> key, the <ORANGE>
key is used to access this function.
