MENU/ENTER and Menu Item Keys
When editing information, or a response is required, pressing the Menu/Enter key accepts the value
or confirms the response. In COM, VOR, XPDR, and MAP modes, pressing this key will bring up a
list of menu items on the right side of the display allowing the pilot to select. The menu items are
then selected by pressing the key to the right of it. Pressing the Menu/Enter key while the menu
items are shown will remove them from view.
Large/Small Knobs
You can move the cursor or highlight information by turning the Large knob. Turn the Small knob
to change information.
CRSR
Press the Small knob in to activate the cursor (CRSR). The area on the display that you can now edit
will be highlighted. Now you can change information with the Small knob and move the cursor
to the next area to edit with the Large knob. If you are in Map mode, pressing the CRSR activates
PAN mode. In Transponder mode, it allows editing squawk codes. In Direct-To and Flight Plan (FPL)
modes, activating the CRSR control will help narrow a waypoint search.

Datacard

The Map database and other information is stored on a data card. The use of a data card allows you to easily
update information.
NOTE: Only change the data card when the power is turned off or you may damage your unit.
Handle your data card carefully. Do not touch the connector edge of the data card. To eject the card, press the
data card ejector. Gently pull the card straight out of the slot. Insert a data card by pushing the card straight into
the slot. When fully inserted, the data card and eject button will be flush and slightly recessed into the bezel.
When contacting your dealer or the Garmin customer service staff, eject the data card and write down the
information shown on the label.
NOTE: Never insert or eject the data card with the power on.
