Main Menu

The M56 has a Main Menu, which contains some function commands
and some setup option commands. The tutorial lessons in this section
will deal only with functions, the basic commands that make the M56
do something. The unit will work fine for these lessons right out of the
box with the factory default settings. But, if you want to learn about
the various options, see Sec. 8, System Setup and GPS Setup Options.
