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.
The currently selected soft key option is shown by its grey background.
Similarly to the dedicated keys, when you press a soft key one of the
following happens:
a) The associated operation is actioned, e.g. GOTO WAYPOINT.
b) A sub-set of soft keys is displayed, providing further functions.
c) A pop-up menu is displayed, providing further options.
d) The appropriate database list (route, waypoint or track) is displayed.
As with dedicated keys, when you press a key, a single audio beep
confirms the key action. If the key-press is not valid for the current screen
or mode, three rapid beeps sound to indicate that no response is
available. If required, you can turn the key beeps off as part of your set
up procedure (see Chapter 5).
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.
You use the trackpad to select an option from the menu, then use the
appropriate soft key to set the option. For example, you can specify the
radius of the waypoint arrival alarm and you can toggle selected
navigation data boxes on/off.
Database Lists
The waypoints, routes and tracks that you create on the chartplotter are
stored in database lists. You can view these lists and select items for
editing.
As with pop-up menus, when a database list is on-screen, a set of
associated soft keys is also displayed; you use the trackpad to select an
item from the list, then use the appropriate soft key to edit the item. For
example, you can erase a waypoint or a route.
