Section 6: Basic Gps Operations; Keyboard - Lowrance LCX-17M Operating Instructions Manual

This section addresses the unit's most basic GPS operations. The
tutorials presented in Sec. 6 follow a chronological order. Sec. 7,
Advanced GPS Operations, will discuss other more advanced functions
and utilities. Material in Sec. 7 is arranged in alphabetical order.
Before you turn on the unit and find where you are, it's a good idea to
learn about the different keys, the four Page screens and how they all
work together. BUT, if you just can't wait to get outside, turn to the
one-page Quick Reference on page 111.
