INTRODUCTION
Key and Knob
Functions
This manual will describe entering data using the
K
and
O
knobs. Experiment with them and become
efficient in entering data with the concentric knobs.
This will greatly reduce the amount of time required
to navigate with the GNC 300.
The GNC 300 is designed to minimize
keystrokes when performing operations. There
are typically several ways to perform the
same operation. In general, using the knobs
will decrease keystrokes and time spent using
the GNC 300. Experiment to find the most
effective way to use the GNC 300 to your
advantage.
