II. Quick Activation by pressing [CLR] for 1 second

Pressing and holding [CLR] for 1 second from the Chart page Display or from any main page (Navigation, Highway, Celestial, GPS Status, DSC, NMEA DISPLAY); the following Soft Keys are shown: [FULL SCREEN], [PIP VIEW], [AUTO SWITCH]. If no video signal is detected on the Video Input connector, the Soft Keys will be shown in light color in order to identify that they are not active.

III. Quick Activation by Soft Keys

It is possible to assign the Video Input mode to any of the Soft Keys. Press one of the Soft Keys, the Soft Keys functions are shown. Pressing and holding for 1 second one of the Soft Keys, the Soft Keys customization list will be shown. By selecting VIDEO option it will be possible to assign the Soft Key to execute the Video Input function. Once the Soft Key has been assigned to Video Input, its label will show the message [VIDEO].
