13
group (MAP, WPT, AUX, NRST), while the small knob selects a specific page within the page group. Pressing
the small knob turns the selection cursor ON and OFF. When the cursor is ON, data may be entered in the
different windows using the small and large knobs. The large knob is used to move the cursor on the page,
while the small knob is used to select individual characters for the highlighted cursor location. When the
G1000 displays a list that is too long for the display screen, a scroll bar appears along the right side of the
display, indicating the availability of additional items within the selected category. Press the small FMS Knob
to activate the cursor and turn the large FMS Knob to scroll through the list.
