1.1Operating Controls

1.1.1Control unit

The radar, video plotter, sounder and chart systems are operated with the control unit. Ten keys are labeled and they provide the function shown on their labels. The five soft keys provide various functions according to current operating mode. The ENTER knob mainly functions to register selections on the menu and adjust the EBL, VRM and gain. The Trackball’s main function is to move the cursor across the screen. When you correctly execute an operation, the unit generates a beep. Invalid operation causes the unit to emit three beeps.
