Chapter 1: Overview
Soft Keys
The four keys below the screen are called soft keys because their
functions change according to the operation. The soft keys are grouped
into related sets and subsets providing access to the various functions.
The soft key labels are displayed on the screen just above the keys. The
default soft keys are displayed until you press a key, or select an item on
the screen; the soft keys associated with the action are then displayed as
shown in Figure 1-2.
ROUTE
Note: If the key text is greyed out, it is not currently available.
When you press a soft key, one of the following happens:
1. The associated operation is actioned.
2. A sub-set of soft keys is displayed, providing further functions.
3. A pop-up menu is displayed, providing further options.
As with dedicated keys, soft key operations are confirmed (or denied) by
key beeps, see Dedicated Keys above.
Pop-Up Menus
Pop-up menus usually provide set up options. When a pop-up menu is
on-screen, a set of associated soft keys is also displayed as shown in
Figure 1-3.
ALARM
OFF ON
Use the trackpad to select an option from the menu, then use the
appropriate soft key to set the option. For example, you can toggle the
ANCHOR ALARM on/off using the soft keys.
