The Soft Keys
The four keys below the screen are called soft keys because their functions
change according to the operation. The soft keys are grouped into related sets
and subsets providing access to the various functions. The soft key labels are
displayed on the screen just above the keys. The initial soft keys are displayed
until you press a key, or select an item on the screen; the soft keys associated
with the action are then displayed.
Note: Throughout this manual the term soft key label is shortened to soft key.
When you are instructed to press a soft key, this means press the key below the
soft key label.
You can control whether or not the soft key labels are displayed all the time,
using the system set up as described in Chapter 6. If no labels are displayed,
press one of the soft keys to make them appear. The labels disappear again if
you do not press a key for 7 seconds.
Like the dedicated keys, when you press a soft key one of the following
happens:
a) The associated operation is actioned, e.g.
GOTO
.
b) A sub-set of soft keys is displayed, providing further functions.
c) A pop-up menu is displayed, providing further options.
d) The appropriate database list (route, waypoint or track) is displayed.
As with dedicated keys, when you press a key, a single audio beep confirms the
key action. If the key-press is not valid for the current screen or mode, three
rapid beeps sound to indicate that no response is available.
