RotoKey and Soft Controls

The main function of the RotoKey is to display the [soft
controls], a revolving menu of soft controls which change
with operating mode. A short-push or rotation of the key
accesses a set of the functions that you select at the [My
NavNet] menu. The selections are [Basic], [Standard],
[Full] and [Custom]. A long-push displays all of the soft
controls for the current mode.
The soft controls automatically disappear from the
screen if not operated within approximately six seconds.
To erase the soft controls manually, press the CANCEL
key.
The icon at the end of a soft control indicates soft control
category:
• A left arrow within an icon indicates a multi-function
soft control. Push the RotoKey to access the functions.
• An icon without an arrow indicates the ON/OFF status of the item shown on the soft
control. The icon is green when the item is ON and gray when the item is OFF.
• There is no icon on a soft control if the control hides or shows a special display, for
example, the tide graph.
