4. Press the FLOAT 1 soft key to float VRM/EBL1, or the FLOAT 2 soft key to
float VRM/EBL2.
The soft keys are cleared, and the radar picture shows the VRM/EBL as a
solid line. The cursor is positioned over the origin of the VRM/EBL, over
your vessel. The cursor has control of the VRM/EBL, as indicated by the
four-headed arrow, the text FLT in inverse video, and the solid VRM/EBL
line.

abandon the operation and return the VRM/EBL to its previous position.
The radar shows the VRM/EBL as a short-dashed line (VRM/EBL1) or a
long-dashed line (VRM/EBL2), and the cursor returns to normal control.
