Figure 1.2: GPS SD keypad

Note: If the active page includes a Map (Task Map, or Airspaces Map) FS Keys denition will

be ignored. In this case S3, and S4, will zoom in and out of the map whilst the S2 will switch

page.

In menu mode all keys have xed functions shown by symbols on the keys namely S3=Move Up S4=Move

Down, S2=Enter and S1=Back(Exit).

1.3 Using keys Inside Menu

Changing parameters on the GPS SD can be performed through the menu. Changing a parameter involves

accessing the menu, selecting an option, and then changing a specic eld value. Accessing the main menu

can be done by pressing the MENU key in ight mode. Once in the menu, UP(S3), and DOWN(S4) keys

can be used to scroll up and down through the menu options list. During the scrolling process the selected

option is highlighted. The ENTER(S2) key should be used to access the option. Depending on the menu

option, a new menu options list, or a data elds list appears. In any time pressing the MENU(S1) key

takes you back. When accessing data elds the associated menu option becomes grayed and the respective

eld data item is highlighted. Using the UP and DOWN keys changes the value on each eld. Pushing

the ENTER key moves to the next eld, or in same cases to the next character/digit. Conversely, pushing

MENU key moves to the previous eld, or to the previews character/digit. If the ENTER key is pushed on

the last eld all the data in the selection section is stored and control returns to the conguration menu.

Inversely, if the MENU key is pushed on the rst data eld the changed settings are ignored and control

is returned to the conguration menu.

Tip: When setting a data eld that involves setting several characters, e.g. when dening

a waypoint name, after dening the desired characters, pushing the ENTER key continually

for more than 2 seconds will make the cursor jump to the next data eld, or return to the

conguration menu if no more data eld needs to be set.

1.4 Switching GPS SD On and O

To switch on the GPS SD , briey push the S1 key (Menu Key). This will display the start up screen with

a 10 second countdown . Pushing the S2 (Enter key) before the 10 seconds have elapsed will power up the

GPS SD . The GPS SD initiates in ight mode. If the S2 key is not pushed within 10 seconds the GPS

SD returns to sleep. To switch o the GPS SD , push the S1(menu key) to activate menu mode, then use

the S3 or S4 to select the Shutdown item, and nally push the S2 Key.
