USING THE TARGET NAVTEX V2.0
OPERATION.
When power is first applied the display will go to the end of the last
message received. In the bottom left corner the words INT or NAT
indicate the channel (International 518Khz or National 490Khz) the
receiver is operating on. This is the STANDBY screen.
To the right of the word STANDBY live incoming messages are streamed
across the bottom of the screen. The UP key lets you go back to earlier
stored messages the DOWN key letting you scroll down the selected
message. When in the body of a message the UP and DOWN keys
allow scrolling through the message. At the start of a message the UP
key moves you up to the previous message in memory. At the end of a
message the DOWN ket moves you down to the next message in
memory. In the body of a message, pressing the ENTER key takes you
to the beginning of that message. Pressing the ENTER key at the
beginning of a message takes you back
to the STANDBY screen.
Pressing any key turns on the screen backlight for a period of two
minutes. N.B. When text is being written onto the screen a square
character is shown at the top right. Whilst this character is displayed
the keys are inactive.
