Operating principles
Remote control operating principles.
• Only 1 multifunction display may be operated by a
remote control unit at any one time. You cannot pair
a multifunction display to more than 1 remote control
at the same time.
• The 3 buttons on the remote control unit have
different functions depending on the CONTEXT in
which you are using it. For example, in the chart
application the buttons control different functions than
they do in the homescreen.
• All functions are accessed using a combination of
the 3 buttons. For some functions you must press a
button MOMENTARILY. You can also HOLD a button
for continuous response (for example, continuous
ranging in the chart application).
• The main methods of operation involve the use of the
UP and DOWN “arrow” buttons to highlight different
on-screen options. The SHORTCUT button is used
to select (execute) them.
• During the pairing process you must define which of
the arrow buttons you want to be the “UP” button.
• The SHORTCUT button is customizable and can be
configured to operate one of a number of functions,
using the System Settings menu on your multifunction
display.
