The cursor is used to:
• Select a position on the screen.
• Select an item, e.g. guard zone on the radar, chart object on the chartplotter.
• Select an area of the radar image to zoom into or pan the chart display.
Moving the Cursor
You can press on any of the four sections of the trackpad to move the cursor in
that direction (up, down, left or right), or press two sections at the same time to
move diagonally. The cursor moves faster as you continue to press the trackpad.
The current cursor position is shown in the cursor data box (if selected).
Note: During many operations you cannot move the cursor around the screen;
if you cannot move the cursor using the trackpad, check the default soft keys are
displayed (unless they have been switched OFF in system set up). If not, press
ENTER
until they are displayed.
The cursor is normally displayed as a crosshair. However, if you have not
moved the cursor for more than five seconds, when you next move it the cursor
is outlined by a circle so it is easier to locate on the screen.
