3. To adjust the start date and time, press the CURSOR PAD
right to highlight the START field, which defaults to the
date. To change the start date, which can't be before your
system's installation date, press the LEFT ARROW key to
select a desired date. To change the start hour, press the
DATE key, then press the ARROW keys to select a desired
hour. To change the minute, press the hour key, then
press the arrow keys to select a desired minute. As you
press the ARROW keys to define the track, the system
updates the track's number of positions and range of
minutes and seconds, or hours and days, and displays this
information near the bottom of the screen. Note that if
you press and hold the ARROW keys down, they'll speed
up; therefore, when you're close to the desired time,
release the ARROW key to avoid overshooting the date
and time.
4. To adjust the end date and time, press the CURSOR PAD
to highlight the END field, which defaults to the date. To
change the end date, which can't be past the present,
press the LEFT ARROW key to select a desired date. To
change the end hour, press the DATE key, then press the
ARROW keys to select a desired hour. To change the
minute, press the HOUR key, then press the ARROW keys
to select a desired minute. You can't set the end time past
the present—the RIGHT ARROW key won't take the end
date and time into the future).
5. To set the desired color, press the NEXT COLOR key to
cycle through a selection of eight different colors.
6. To enter a description, press the CURSOR PAD left or
right until the red cursor flashes in the DESCRIPTION
field at the bottom of the screen, and use the KEYPAD to
enter a description.
7. When finished defining the track, press the DONE key.
The finished start and end times may be slightly different if
track data wasn't available for those exact start/end times
(the system uses the closest available times for which
there's data). The final length of the track is displayed in
the current units at the bottom of the screen.
