Getting Started
Entering Data
Naming a waypoint or placing any sort of data that has not been predefi ned requires the use of
both the ARROW KEYPAD and the ENTER/MARK key.
To enter a name or number in a data fi eld:
1. Once you have accessed a page with programmable data elds (i.e. Waypoint Edit) you can use
the ARROW KEYPAD to move the cursor (Highlight) to elds on the page. Use the UP/DOWN
arrows to move up or down and the LEFT/RIGHT arrows to move sideways.
2. Pressing the ENTER/MARK key with the eld highlighted begins the process for entering data in
the form of alphanumeric characters.
3. Use the ARROW KEYPAD UP/DOWN arrows to cycle through numbers 0 to 9, positive/negative
symbols, blank space, and the alphabet. Pressing and releasing the keypad moves you character by
character through the list. Pressing and holding the keypad moves you rapidly through the list.
4. Use the ARROW KEYPAD LEFT/RIGHT arrows to move to the next character on the line or
backwards to edit characters. If there are more than two lines of data, keep pressing to the RIGHT
to drop down to the next line.
5. When data entry is completed press ENTER/MARK to accept data, then move to the next
programmable eld. Not all data elds are programmable, like the date and time. When moving
about a page with these type of elds, the cursor will skip over them.
